A commemorative calendar has been published by the European Space Agency showcasing 12 lesser-known images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, marking 30 years since its launch.
The spectacular selection of images show galactic mergers, dying stars and diamond like clusters - all taken by the telescope over 30 years. They've been dubbed 'hidden gems' by ESA.
The telescope, named after American astronomer Edwin Hubble, was launched in April 1990 as a joint NASA and ESA mission.
In its three decades of operation it has helped pin down the age of the universe, understand seasons on other planets and improve out understanding of planets outside of the Solar System.
