For those of you who don’t know Hubble Telescope is a Space Telescope launched into orbit in April 1990. Hubble is one of the largest and most versatile telescope and have gave a new dimension in space exploration. Its a land mark of space collaboration between NASA and European Space Agency (ESA) and is a vital research tool for Space Scientists. Besides Hubble is also an eye for all the Space fans (like me) out there in whole world and has broken boundaries of space exploration that once thought impossible.
In May this year Hubble was modified with a new Wide Field Camera which helped to get images from far end corners of our universe some of which are first time explored. Here we are providing you with best images gathered by Hubble in year 2009. Please don’t forget to read discription of with each image and concluding text at end.
1: NGC 6302, A dying Star
NGC 6302 is a decaying star with explosions of gases. These gases combine to form a gaseous mixture whose temperature is about 36,000 degree Fahrenheit and expands with a speed of 600,000 miles per hour.
2: Birth of a Star
This image is depicting birth of a star in Carina Nebula. Carina Nebula is like a garden of new stars with a large number of new stars. Here you can see the gas and dust clouds resulting in the birth of a new star.
3: Center of Milky Way
To git this spectacular image Hubble Telescope have to make 144 orbits. This is an infrared image of Milky Way’s galactic core. This image is the first infrared image ever made of Milky Way’s core.
4: Star Cluster Omega Centauri
This photo is showing a small portion of a cluster of Stars named Omega Centauri. It is actually a panoramic image showing about 100,000 stars. Omega Centauri actually consists of about 10 million stars.
5: Orion Nebula
Also known as M42, Orion Nebula is actually a bigger cloud of gases resulting from birth of new stars. In this image Orion Nebula is a glowing gas cloud surrounding about 3,000 new born stars.
6: M83 Galaxy
Another name of M83 Galaxy is Southern Pinwheel. It consists of hundreds of new and old as well as super giant stars. Her a rapid rate of star birth in M83 is depicted.
7: Galatic Group
Its difficult to get different galaxies together in an image like this one, this galactic group also known as Stephan’s Quintet, or Hickson Compact Group 92 is featuring 4 different galaxies. On top right is NGC 7319 with its spiral arms extending clockwise, the nest one on right is not ONE but consists of TWO galaxies named NGC 7318A and NGC 7318B, the attractive blue galaxy below is NGC 7320 and finally the distant galaxy in bottom right is NGC 7317 .
8: Oldest Galaxies
Scientists believe that the galaxies in this image are may be universe oldest galaxies created shortly after big bang, it is called Ultra Deep Field (UDF). The first image of UDF that Hubble got about five years ago is estimated to have 10,000 galaxies.
9: Grand Star Grouping
This grouping of stars named R136 contains some of the stars about 100 times bigger than our sun. It is one of Hubble’s most recent images featuring glowing clouds around a cluster of icy-blue stars.
What do you think ! ……
To me, these breath taking images remind me of the creator of the whole universe (who is no other than ALLAH Almighty), human mind no doubt is blessed a lot but still unable to solve mysteries behind all the creations in this universe. Look how huge and beautiful are all these, each of these have its own story, its own world and no doubt have a lot of hidden secrets. Yes these all are among signes of ALLAH Almighty as described in Holy Quran about 14 centuries ago,
“Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together before We split them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?”
(Surah Al-Anbiyaa Surah 21 Ayah 30)
It is He Who appointed the sun to give radiance, and the moon to give light, assigning it phases so you would know the number of years and the reckoning of time. Allah did not create these things except with truth. We make the Signs clear for people who know. (Qur’an, 10:5)
You made a fair point, but have you really thought about how it may affect different people? I don’t say you are wrong, I just need to point out that there is more than 1 side to this story.

Five day job! its good to have fans who question. Dear I understand your point, but its all about following and sharing what is truth. I believe that thought provoking and meaningful discussion is a key to get to right decisions.
After all, all this needs to have only one creator for perfect running of whole system of this Universe.
You are welcome to share your words, as no person in this world is perfect and there is always room for improvement.

The universe may or may not have been created by some supernatural power, i.e. God. Belief is not a proof, on the other hand, scientists all over the planet, have been able to solve a lot of mysteries. I feel the danger with belief is that we stop asking questions, we stop being curious. This is why it is the agnostic (some say ‘Godless’)west which has been able to make all these discoveries about the universe.

You have numerous nice points here. I done a research on the subject and discovered nearly all peoples will agree with your blog.
