The Hubble in action on its 30th birthday



This photo - taken by the Hubble - shows a star-forming region close to our Milky Way Galaxy, about 163,000 light-years from Earth. The larger object is the nebula NGC 2014; its companion is called NGC 2020. But astronomers have nicknamed the scene the "Cosmic Reef" because it resembles an undersea world.
