High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,
I’ve topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
Pilot Officer Gillespie Magee
No 412 squadron, RCAF
Killed 11 December 1941

Do you have any info on the coloration of the picture? I think I read somewhere that technicians add the color after, based on the chemical makeup. The actual photos don’t show colors, and they don’t appear in color to the naked eye. Am I correct about that?

Better yet, get the desktop widget “APOD Viewer” from Hauberg Software. APOD = Astronomy Photo of the Day. You get them delivered directly to your desktop every day.

Well now we know where the cow that jumped over the moon landed. Look about half way up the butterfly wing on the right. Ain’t that a cows face?

There should be a daily ping list for these photos.
There is an Astronomy Picture of the Day ping list, run by sig226.
It's not limited to Hubble pictures, though.

Now that the Government only talks in terms of billions and trillions, I understand these numbers much better...
