30 Years of the Hubble Space Telescope: See a photo of what it saw on your birthday

The Hubble Space Telescope is celebrating 30 years in orbit. In honor of the festivities, NASA wants to treat you to an image of space that they captured using the amazing photos on your birthday.

The Hubble was the first major optical telescope to be placed in space and has been showing us incredible sights of space in the form of photos 24 hours a day, seven days a week since April 1990.

As part of the celebrations, NASA launched an interactive platform for you to see a picture of space on your birthday. All you have to do is select your birthday month and day and the generator will reveal a photo from its collection.

According to Fox 8, most of the celebrations have been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, but NASA isn’t letting that stop them. The events scheduled in California and Washington, D.C., are postponed for a later date.

Serious stargazers who have a telescope can glimpse some of these same delights the Hubble has captured this month, from home. Let the experts at NASA be your guide to the stars.

If that doesn’t help you collect a myriad of stardust from your own backyard, NASA is sharing one photo every day from each of Hubble’s years in orbit to countdown to the official anniversary on April 24.
