From black holes to primordial galaxies, the Hubble Space Telescope has provided out-of-this-world images of space where no human has ever gone.
NASA, the European Space Agency and the Space Telescopic Science Institute celebrated Hubble's 20th year in orbit on Saturday by releasing another stunning photo caught by the iconic telescope.
The striking color shot shows a small portion of the Carina Nebula, "one of the largest seen star-birth regions in the galaxy," according to NASA.
Former NASA astronaut John Grunsfeld, who flew on three service missions to Hubble, said that inside those newborn stars "are the chemical elements ... that make up people."
