As the year 2020 comes to an end, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has shared its four most liked photographs from the year. Shared on Twitter by the official account of Hubble Telescope, the collage features astonishing snapshots captured by the telescope from an altitude of about 340 miles. Alongside the photographs, the post also lays out an option to the followers to pick their favourite from the lot.
The first picture, (top left) shows the Cosmic Reef while the that on top right shows an image of Jupiter. The bottom left snapshot is of the ringed planet Saturn while Neptune is captured in the bottom right photo. “Planets seemed to be pretty popular...,” quipped the post highlighting that planets made three out of the four pictures.

The Eagle Nebula's Pillars of Creation ❤
Gonna go with Jupiter.

The Jovian system overall is the most fascinating place in Sol. That it's likely to be the second-biggest human civilization in the future is also a nice bonus.
The "Cosmic Reef", got my vote. However: Hubble, to us who'd got our Astronomical Upbringing on the Apollo- Moon - Mission & Landing, are all those pics of a Cosmos never seen. Like " The Pillars of Creation", 4 instance. 🤩

The reef is really cool, but today that shot of Jupiter looks like a blue-eyed woman winking & blowing a raspberry, so it just seems the most appropriate for 2020. pic.twitter.com/e5DtyJFxD5
