hubble show me your very favorite picture(s)!!

.yes definitely

.i have more than one

.this is m13

.from earth with little to no light pollution i think you would be able to see this with binoculars

.this is n159

.it looks dusty yet very clear

.here is a shot from the heart of the crab nebula

.it looks closed in on a star that is spinning 30 times every second

.this is the orion nebula

.it looks like watercolors and i think it is super gorgeous

.the cone nebula

.this one is so pretty it looks almost fake

.those are just a few of my favorites

.i hope you enjoy them

can i get some black holes :00

.i had a mission a long time ago to watch on particular star for a while

.the reason i had to was because i had to see if it was still there

.eight years before i was given the mission we took a picture of a galaxy but when we went to look at it again one of the stars was gone

.heres the crazy part

.in order for a star to become a black hole it has to collapse on itself and go “supernova” in which it explodes and emits a shitton of light

.but when we went back to study the brightness of the star over time, it did get brighter but not bright enough to hit supernova

.so i had to see if it somehow created a black hole without reaching supernova or if it just became a duller star all of a sudden

.the star and lack of star is circled

.it counts as a black hole

.but not all black holes look like that

.you can find black holes in the center of galaxies 

.like the milky way

.this is from an observatory bc i was never really sent to see black holes very often so it is very low quality i apologize

.but this is the center of the milky way

.see how you cant really see a specific black circle

.yeah pretty sure thats just how it is

.i will definitely take more pictures of potential black holes for you though

got a nice picture of a nebula to share? preferably colorful

.hope this is colorful enough

[picturethishubble]

Send us one of your favorite pictures

.this one may seem very bland but it has to be my favorite

.not only did it take a while to take but it is actually a bunch of different galaxies

.almost all of those dots and shapes are galaxies all varying in age and shape and size

.it looks very minimal but it is actually so incredible

uhhh fuckinnnn send me pics of the milky way or some shit fam

.the bg star cluster is one of the densest in our galaxy i believe

Do you have any pictures of the Medusa Nebula?

.very generic picture i know

.but still one of the most breathtaking
