For 34 years, the Hubble Telescope has been orbiting space, each day sending new information back to Earth. Now, the telescope is showing a new multiwavelength galaxy view for the first time.

NASA calls the new image "brilliant light captured in the current image offers a wealth of information."

The picture is composed of ten different images collected by the Hubble Telescope. It spans 10 different wavelengths of light, from ultraviolet to visible to near-infrared. The pictures were taken over 15 years, from 2009 to 2024.

NASA produced a graphic showing the different wavelengths that goes into a multiwavelength view. The graphic shows a multiwavelength view of the Milky Way. The images are taken and compiled to show the final image.

The Hubble Telescope is named after Edwin Hubble. Hubble was born in 1889 in Marshfield, Mo. By his first birthday he moved to Wheaton, Il. Hubble excelled in athletics and even coached basketball for a short time.

Ultimately, academics won. He became one of the first Rhodes Scholars at Oxford University, where he studied law. In 1919 Hubble began his science career, only a few short years after Einstein published his Theory of General Relativity. Hubble changed the trajectory of how we view space.

In 1990, NASA launched the Hubble Telescope which has sent pictures daily for the past 34 years.
