NASA's Hubble Telescope Snaps ‘Sparkling Candy Floss’ Region of Space | Image

Washington: NASA released pictures of space taken by its Hubble Telescope in a region of space. NASA has named this ‘Sparkling Candy Floss’ as the picture looks like candy floss sprinkled all over the space.

NASA, which keeps sending breathtaking photographs of our universe, enthralling space enthusiasts. The US Space Agency's twitter accounts are nothing short of a gold mine for anyone who enjoys watching informative films and eye-catching pictures of Earth and space. 

NASA has released an amazing photo of N11, a cluster of nebulae located in the constellation Dorado, some 160 000 light-years away. Karl Gordon, an American astronomer and NASA astronaut, made the discovery of this intricate cluster of emission nebulae in 1956. The Hubble Space Telescope of the space agency took the image.

Nasa recently said in a press release that they are still deciding whether to keep two astronauts at the International Space Station until early next year and send their troubled Boeing capsule back empty.

Rather than flying Boeing's Starliner back to Earth, Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams would catch a ride on SpaceX's next flight. That option would keep them at the space station until next February.

The test pilots anticipated being away just a week or so when they rocketed away as Starliner's first crew. But thruster failures and helium leaks marred the capsule's trip to the space station, raising doubts about its ability to return safely and leaving the astronauts in limbo.

NASA officials said they're analyzing more data before making a decision by end of next week or beginning of the next. These thrusters are crucial for holding the capsule in the right position when it comes time to descend from orbit.

“We've got time available before we bring Starliner home and we want to use that time wisely," said Ken Bowersox, NASA's space operations mission chief.
