The geographical location given in the first photo caption (the one with the USAF B-1B Lancer photographed by Staff Sgt. Shelley Gill) is incorrect. The correct location is Southwest Asia. The caption should read:

USAF B-1B Lancer's Prandtl-Glauert condensation cloud is an additional cloud in Southwest Asia's blue sky.

Agreed. There's a huge variety of material that can keep you reading all day and all night.

The above images are great. The Hubble Space Telescope images are simply gorgeous. Are NASA's powers-that-be occasional FreeRepublic.com visitors? If and when they do drop by, here's a message for them: HST is now a valuable asset of the people of the United States whose images are an inspiration, bringing a kind of hope and cheer in these difficult times. For many Hubble is the next best thing to actually traveling in space, the images exciting the imagination and stretching the mind in a wholesome way. So lets find a way to keep good 'ol Hubble alive for another generation and the continued free flow of images to HubbleSite.org. It's a wise and worthwhile investment.

Very cool. Thanks.

You're welcome. The real thanks, however, really goes to the photographers, and in the case of Hubble, the engineers and scientists who built HST. I, like you and others, enjoy looking/marveling at the photos too.
