This iconic image from the Hubble Space Telescope celebrates the telescope's 25th anniversary. It shows the clear view of the universe that astronomers have obtained since the telescope was launched into orbit in 1990. The image captures the aftermath of a supernova explosion, which are seen as glowing "pillars of light" because they are seen from such a faraway place.

Really big telescopes allow us to see back in time by capturing distant objects in space that have emitted light over many years. Because light travels at a constant speed and the universe is expanding, astronomical events that we can observe are actually from the past. By looking further and further away from Earth with a powerful telescope, we can observe further back in time.
