Surprised NASA scientists released a photograph taken August 3 by the Hubble Space Telescope that provided unexpected detail of a young star system known as 30 Doradus, 160,000 light years from Earth. After scientists corrected the flawed mirror problem with computer enhancement, the telescope revealed 60 of what were yet the youngest and heaviest stars known. The "star nursery," was once thought to have only one large star; the most advanced telescope prior to the Hubble telescope had raised that number to 27.
