Refurbished Hubble is spectacular

by SouthernFriedInfidel | Published on September 10th, 2009, 11:58 am | Science
Even when compared to the earlier, dazzling photos that used to come from the Hubble scope, these will blow you away.

Now that this amazing instrument for science is up and running in the best condition ever, it will be fun finding out what new discoveries it will give us.

Kudos to NASA -- another terrific job for all of humanity!

definitely take the time to download the uncompressed shots. They will blow your mind.

Or... just go to NASA's Hubble page and see what all they have.

Would you not (expletive) if you saw a blue box with Jesus hanging out of it?

Not blue, no. Orange, perhaps... :twisted:

Apparently the Hubble caught the Klingons.

Hubble takes pictures of all sorts of weird things, but seldom does NASA refer to them in a press release as “mysterious.” The second sign of worry: The object is larger than the parameters of its own dust trail – like, you know, a spaceship. Lastly, it appears to be shaped like an “X.” Or, more ominously, like a Klingon bird of prey. Why is that?

“I wish I knew,” David Jewitt, NASA’s chief detective on the case, said Wednesday from UCLA, where he is an astronomer.

Gulp.

LOL!

The second I saw this story, my first thought was "Liv will have a field day with this one!"
