NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has released a new image of part of NGC 2174, more commonly known as the Monkey Head Nebula, to celebrate its 24th year in orbit.
NGC 2174 can be found approximately 6400 light-years away in the constellation of Orion, according to RedOrbit.com.
Hubble previously viewed this location back in 2001, taking an image that wasn't released until 2011. Now the space telescope has returned.
The image demonstrates Hubble's infrared vision, while also offering scientists a hint at what to expect from the James Webb Space Telescope Observations of NGC 2174, which were taken last month.
A number of colors can be seen in the image, like dark brown and rust-colored dust clouds, against a background of bright blue gas. The hues were formed by a combination of several Hubble images taken with a number of colored filters, which revealed a range of colors that are not visible to the human eye, according to RedOrbit.com.
Another celebration will be held for Hubble in Rome, Italy later this month. A conference, which has been called "Science with the Hubble Space Telescope IV," will celebrate and highlight the breakthroughs that Hubble has made the last two decades, while also going over future missions.
Hubble is a project between NASA and the European Space Agency. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., manages the telescope, according to NASA.
