Explanation:
Now, as you sip your
cosmic latte
you can view 100 Hubble Space Telescope images at the same time.
The popular scenes of the cosmos as captured from low Earth orbit
are all combined into this single digital presentation.
To make it,
Hubble's
top 100 images were downloaded and
resized to identical pixel dimensions.
At each point the 100 pixel values were arranged from
lowest to highest, and the middle or
median value was chosen
for the final image.
The combined image results in a visual
abstraction -
light from across the Universe surrounded by darkness.
