The Hubble Space Telescope has released another amazing view of the universe, just a week after the first images were shared.

The Scorpius constellation contains a cluster called Terzan 2. A dense collection of hundreds of thousands of ancient stars help shed light on the history of the universe

The European Space Agency said in a statement that the globular clusters are a spherical shape. The images of the hearts of the clusters are crowded with a lot of stars.

There are the best Hubble Space Telescope images.

The space telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Camera 3 were used to capture the recent Hubble image. The light from distant objects is reflected off of Hubble's secondary mirror and directed to individual instruments.

Each of the four operational instruments on Hubble is a masterpiece of astronomical engineering in its own right, and contains an intricate array of mirrors and other optical elements to remove any aberrations or optical imperfections from observations. Hubble's primary mirror is slightly imperfect because of the mirrors inside each instrument. This portrait of Terzan 2 is a crystal clear observation.

Terzan 2 appears to be a similar cluster to Terzan 9 which is located in the constellation Sagittarius. According to a statement from the space agency, Hubble's view of Terzan 9 shows a scene that looks like a treasure chest filled with gold.
