With over one million notice since it launch on April 24 , 1990 , the Hubble Space Telescope has been a dateless source forinsane wonders , unprecedented scenesandhumbling experience . However , many of its most awing images have never been figure before by anyone — until now . In fact , some images really show objects that nobody knew exist before .

These are , as the European Space Agency calls them , Hubble ’s veil treasure — the unknown hidden beetleweed and stars that have remained unobserved in the Space Telescope ’s data vaults until the ESA asked the public to plunge in on a seeking to happen them . What multitude have regain is amazing .
According to ESA :
[ Of the million observation ] only a belittled proportionality are attractive look-alike — and an even small number are ever actually seen by anyone outside the small groups of scientists that publish them . But the vast amount of data in the archive entail that there are still many C of beautiful images scattered among the worthful , but visually untempting , scientific data that have never been enjoyed by the public .
know that , ESA opened the burial vault to everyone . A few months later , they had 3,000 submissionsin their servers , all of them beautiful . “ More than a thousand of these images were amply litigate , ” says ESA , “ a difficult and prison term - consuming task . ”
fabulously enough , there was no payment for all these image search and processing hour done by the public except a few small prizes for the top ten in two categories — basic imaging and range of a function processing . The volunteers did it all out of the love for the seeking , a desire to search and receive something that nobody has seen before in this way .
Here are the solvent :
The winner of the image processing family was Josh Lake , for the star - forming part NGC 1763 , followed by Andre van der Hoeven and his range of the spiral galaxy Messier 77 . My deary , however , is this one , detect and processedby Judy Schmidt , a web developer from Lakeside , California . It ’s the star XZ Tauri . According to the European Space Agency , this was the panel ’s favorite . In fact , thanks to her work , they discover “ an strange physical object that we would never have found without her help . ”
It ’s so incredibly beautiful and soft that it seems unreal :
What a magical place .
