Yay! I am so excited, the new head of NASA aprooved a shuttle mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. His rpedecessor, a Bush adminstration stooge, had vetoed any repair and was willing to let the telescope destroy itself as it entered the earth's atmosphere, instead of sending a mission to repair it, with astronauts ALREADY TRAINED to repair it. I am so glad!
Read th story here
Hubble saved!

Here are soe of the many fantastic images we have gotten allowing us to see the universe as it was as far back as 12 BILLION years ago thanks to the Hublle Space telescope.

The "Sombrero" Galaxy (50 million light years away)

The "Antennae" Galaxies in collision

The "Eskimo" Nebula (named because of it's resemblance to a hu8man head in a furry parka hood)

central region of the galaxy Centaurus A (the blue regions are where hundreds if not thousands of new stars are being born)

These and thousands more are a sample of the insane beauty we have been lucky to see due to th Hublle Space telescope, not to mention the myriad scientific advances as a result of the Hubble. I hope someone else is happy about this!!!!

Here is the NASA site's Astronomy Picture of The Day webpage, from whose archive I culled these images.
