When the TV series "Star Trek" was first broadcast in 1966, the largest telescopes on Earth could only see about halfway across the universe -- the rest was uncharted territory. But Hubble's powerful vision has carried us into the true "final frontier." This Hubble image of galaxy cluster Abell S1063 is released today in time for the new motion picture "Star Trek Beyond." The image unveils a very cluttered-looking universe filled with galaxies near and far. The Hubble data were taken in Dec. 2005 to May 2016.
