See, now that's just beautiful. The Hubble seems to get all this attention while all the new giant earth based telescopes get ignored. I've heard of astronomers saying that they would much rather have spend the 3ish billion dollars on earth based telescopes than one space telescope. This was back whe adaptive optics was a new idea and I don't know if that idea is working out very well.

My favorite hubble shot of all time is definitely the deep field. I waited some 25 years for that.
