Hubble Telescope's 16th Birthday

Sweet Sixteen

The Hubble Space Telescope is now 16. To celebrate the launching of the HST 16 years ago, NAS A and the European Space Agency released a mosaic of the M82 galaxy, the image being the sharpest wide-angle view taken of the galaxy.

The image is available at www.spacetelescope.org
