In April 1990, the universe opened to us in a whole new way.
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched and launched, the most powerful space telescope ever created.
Even if the machine is a Bumpy startup, Hubble, has been operating for a full three decades, until April this year. Also, in celebration of this remarkable milestone, NASA has given us a lot of space: images of 50 objects on the new Caldwell Inventory process, first made public.
Cosmic materials can be classified in several ways. What makes Caldwell ‘s list so special is that it only contains materials that astronomers see in the background. Grab a telescope (or, in some cases, two eyes for yourself), see these things in the night sky for yourself.
The Caldwell List, originally compiled by amateur astronomer and author Sir Patrick Alfred Caldwell-Moore, was first published in 1995. Sky and telescope, Considered in support of Messier ‘s list of 110 objects compiled by the French astronaut Charles Messier in the 18th century.

Messier, popularly, compiled his list out of fear. He was interested in finding comets; List list of strange things No. Comets, so that comet hunters can safely pass.
Ironically, this turned out to be a very useful list of clear targets for non-professional astronauts to see, including nebulae, star clusters, and nearby galaxies.

Caldwell’s list of 109 objects, containing 28 nebulae, 46 galaxies and 35 galaxies, is not included on Messier’s list, but there is an even worse interest for anyone enjoying heaven at night.
It is a joy to discover these things for yourself, to see them, light years away, with your eyes. It’s also good to compare your own ideas with what Hubble saw with his most powerful “eye”. And, well, they’re just glory.

“Because of Hubble’s panoramic view, some of his images did not capture the fullness of Caldwell’s object, sometimes replacing collections of young stars, stars in a browser suburban area, or a zombie star in the heart of a nebula,” Vanessa Thomas wrote. from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. On the NASA website.
“But in other cases, a mosaic of Hubble’s ideas paints a complete or almost complete picture of the wonders of the sky. ”
In total, the Hubble Caldwell catalog – first published in December 2019 – now contains 87 of 109 Caldwell products. The Space Telescope doesn’t miss Messier’s list; Hubble filmed 96 of 110 Messier items. Each item on both lists has visual instructions on how to watch it in the sky.

Together, the two collections contain some of the most beautiful images of the place around us – a fascinating journey into the wonders of the universe.
It has become a complete testament to the valuable treasure of Hubble.
