During your next Tinder date, don’t ask her what her sign is. Thanks to this NASA creation, you can now ask him: “Hey, do you know what Hubble saw on your birthday?” At the end of the date, you may not speak to each other anymore, but at least you will have left with a new acquaintance and a nice wallpaper. Do you want to learn how it is done?
Yes, the James Webb has become the new adoration of NASA and other space agencies. Nevertheless, Hubble has been observing the vast universe 24/7 since April 24, 1990. So it’s very likely that while you were on Earth celebrating your birthday, the space telescope miles above your head was capturing never-before-seen images of galaxies, nebulae, planets, and more.
Today, we show you how to get these Hubble images. There is no doubt that space images are always something to be surprised about. In fact, James Webb photos have probably become the most popular background behind Windows XP’s hill and the clownfish image that dominated iPhones since their launch.
What did Hubble see on your birthday?
On August 13, 1996, Hubble captured images of the changing weather on the planet Neptune. A look at one of the weirdest and wildest climates in the Solar System. Although my birth would not be but two years later, this is the result that the NASA website has decided to show me, and it is a rather curious one.
How can you see yours? Well, it’s very simple. Of course, just like what happened to me, it is quite likely that you will not see a date according to your year of birth. It can be much earlier, or much later. If you are lucky, you can and you get the specific year. However, you can be sure that they were taken on your birthday.
On the other hand, the NASA website allows you to see much more information on the images captured by Hubble. From seeing them in a higher resolution, to reading a scientific article published about it on your birthday. Thus, you can not only marvel at the aesthetics of the photos, but also the facts behind them.
