Description

After completing the Hubble Space Telescope survey of more than 200,000 galaxies, the UVCANDELS team has generated thousands of color images of galaxies observed over the past 10 billion years of cosmic time. In this work, we wanted to provide these images to the public for their enjoyment and appreciation and devised an automated bot to regularly post these images to the popular app, Instagram. Through this bot, the public can get a taste of the diversity and beauty of these galaxies each day.
