The European Space Agency (ESA) on Thursday revealed an image of the hourglass-shaped Southern Crab Nebula, taken to mark the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope's 29th anniversary in space. "This new image adds to our understanding of the nebula and demonstrates the telescope's continued capabilities," ESA said. The Hubble Telescope was launched aboard space shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990.
