Washington: NASA has released photos of space taken by the Hubble telescope in a region of space. NASA has dubbed them “glowing cotton candy” because the image looks like cotton candy spread all over space.
NASA never stops sending out stunning photographs of our universe that captivate space enthusiasts. The US Space Agency’s Twitter accounts are a veritable goldmine for anyone who enjoys watching informative films and eye-catching images of Earth and space.
NASA has released a stunning photograph of N11, a nebula cluster located in the constellation Dorado, about 160,000 light-years away. Karl Gordon, an American astronomer and NASA astronaut, discovered this intricate cluster of emission nebulae in 1956. The image was taken by the space agency’s Hubble Space Telescope.

NASA recently said in a press release that it is still deciding whether to keep two astronauts on the International Space Station until early next year and send its troubled Boeing capsule back empty.
Instead of returning to Earth on Boeing’s Starliner, Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams would be flying on SpaceX’s next flight. That option would keep them on the space station until next February.
Test pilots had expected to be gone just a week or more when they blasted off as the first Starliner crew, but thruster failures and helium leaks marred the capsule’s trip to the space station, raising questions about its ability to return safely and leaving the astronauts in limbo.
NASA officials said they are analyzing more data before making a decision late next week or early next week. These thrusters are crucial to keeping the capsule in the right position when it comes time to descend from orbit.
“We have time available before we bring Starliner home and we want to use it wisely,” said Ken Bowersox, NASA’s space operations mission manager.
