ʻO ʻApelila 24 ka makahiki 29 o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka Discovery shuttle STS-31 me ka Hubble Space Telescope ma luna o ka moku. E like me kēia lā, ua hoʻopuka ka US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) i ka paʻi ʻana i kekahi kiʻi nani i hoʻoili ʻia mai ka orbital observatory.
Hōʻike ke kiʻi i hōʻike ʻia (e nānā i ke kiʻi hoʻonā piha ma lalo) i ka Southern Crab Nebula, ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo Hen 2-104. Aia ia ma kahi mamao ma kahi o 7000 mau makahiki māmā mai iā mākou ma ka hōkū ʻo Centaurus.
Ua like ke ʻano o ka Southern Crab Nebula me he aniani hola. Aia ma ka ʻaoʻao waena o kēia hale ʻelua mau hōkū - kahi nunui ʻulaʻula kahiko a me kahi dwarf keʻokeʻo.
Ua ʻike mua ʻia ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka makahiki 1960, akā ua kuhi mua ʻia he hōkū maʻamau. Ua hoʻoholo ʻia ma hope he nebula kēia mea.
E hoʻohui pū kākou, ʻoiai ʻo kona mau makahiki hanohano, ke hoʻomau nei ʻo Hubble i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i ka ʻikepili ʻepekema a hoʻouna i nā kiʻi nani o ka ākea o ke ao holoʻokoʻa i ka Honua. I kēia manawa ua hoʻolālā ʻia e hana i ka observatory a hiki i ka liʻiliʻi o 2025.
