A Christmas Gift from Space
The Hubble Space Telescope is helping us get into the Christmas spirit with this colourful new space picture. The swirls of gas dancing across this picture look just like a shining ribbon in Space, similar to those that will be wrapped around your Christmas gifts in less than two weeks! Now flip the image around in your head and it looks just like a giant “S”—for Santa!
