Each image is momentarily shown and zooms in or out before it quickly transitions to the next image in the carousel. White text is located in the center of the video and reads “Hubble Space Telescope, Embark on a Journey of Discovery.” The chronological order of the video’s text and images is as follows: (1) image of the dense star-filled and -forming Cosmic Reef region, showing cloudy red and fluffy blue structures and bright points of light; (2) video clip showing the launch of the Discovery space shuttle; (3) cropped image of Jupiter, showing its swirl-like pattern, light brown bands, and the Great Red Spot; (4) image of the Pillars of Creation, featuring three pillar-shaped clouds of gas and dust over a blue background speckled with stars; (5) image of the Pillars of Creation, showing faint blue regions outlining the shape of the three pillars against a dark background densely filled with glowing yellow and white points of stars; and (6) image of Globular Cluster 57 Tucanae, which is composed of up to a million stars and depicted here as small white points, and larger blue and orange points
