00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:05,780
The Hubble Space Telescope celebrates its 29th birthday in April 2019.

2
00:00:07,020 --> 00:00:12,160
To mark the occasion, it premiered this image of the Southern Crab Nebula.

3
00:00:12,940 --> 00:00:18,180
The space telescope continues to reveal the mysteries of the cosmos.

4
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:24,200
Here are some achievements from Hubble's latest year in orbit.

5
00:00:25,860 --> 00:00:29,760
SOLAR SYSTEM

6
00:00:31,260 --> 00:00:37,640
Hubble showed the seasonal dynamics in the atmospheres of Uranus and Neptune,

7
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:44,980
viewed storms on Saturn and Mars during their closest approach to Earth,

8
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:51,920
and spotted 'Oumuamua, the first known interstellar object to visit our solar system.

9
00:00:52,820 --> 00:00:58,300
Hubble caught the mysterious visitor having an unexpected change in speed.

10
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,120
EXOPLANETS

11
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,220
Hubble made discoveries about planets around other stars,

12
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,720
from studying a gas giant with an atmosphere hot enough to melt silver,

13
00:01:18,540 --> 00:01:23,800
to detecting helium for the first time in
an exoplanet's atmosphere,

14
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:29,860
and helping find the first evidence for a
possible moon outside our solar system.

15
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:36,120
Hubble also found that young red dwarf stars have more intense flares than older red dwarfs.

16
00:01:37,020 --> 00:01:42,040
These superflares could endanger any planets forming around the red dwarfs.

17
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:50,460
EXTRAGALACTIC

18
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,040
Hubble premiered this ultra-HD view of the Triangulum Galaxy

19
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:03,560
and found that star formation is 10 times more intense here than in the Andromeda Galaxy.

20
00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:10,400
Hubble finished the larges ultraviolet survey of nearby galaxies.

21
00:02:11,980 --> 00:02:16,340
More than 50 galaxies were surveyed to better understand star formation.

22
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:23,460
Hubble used light from orphaned stars to trace the distribution of dark matter

23
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:31,980
and studied merging black holes at the centers of colliding galaxies.

24
00:02:32,540 --> 00:02:39,440
The Hubble and Gaia telescopes refined the Hubble constant, tracking the universe's growth.

25
