The Hubble has observed some fascinating cosmic wonder every day of the year, including on your birthday. You can visit the NASA Hubble website and feed in your birthday to see what occurred then! Atomic Hands was founded on October 1st. Here’s what the Hubble saw on October 1, 2001 (point at camera). Like our Milky Way, the galaxy NGC 3949 has a disk full of young, blue stars peppered with pink star-birth regions. In contrast to the blue disk, the galaxy’s bright center is made up of mostly older stars and appears more yellow. Very interesting! What did the Hubble see on your birthday? Comment below!
