Look like my colonoscopy photos taken last week. Gee, didn’t know my insides were so pretty.
IMO everyone should take a week or so and go out to the Hubble site and flip through the images. They're magnificent.
They better not pull Hubble down until they got something better to replace it with. Hubble's given us a mind-boggling amount of knowledge about the solar system and the universe that we can get from no other source.
Godspeed

My UCLA astrophysicist son tells me that new ground-based telescopes will soon outdo Hubble, except in the x-ray band, where the atmosphere is too absorptive. Computational methods can now correct for the distorting effects of the atmosphere in real time. Soon you’ll be able to do Hubble-like photos using larger mirrors that you couldn’t possibly launch into space.
That is amazing but I totally see a face in that picture. Just imagination I know but it’s so clear to me. A man, mouth open.
