India lit up in a dazzling display of light and colour for Diwali, with photos of celebrations flooding social media sites.
This time, too, as people kept tagging the International Space Station and NASA to share some shots from space, they finally got a glimpse of an epic “sparkling starfield” captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.
Posting a breathtaking image of thousands of brightly lit stars, called a globular cluster, the agency said, “It contains a densely-packed collection of colorful stars close to the heart of the Milky Way.” It explained that interstellar gas and dust absorb starlight, which makes observations more challenging.
