I am hoping NASA comes to it's senses and does the mission to Hubble. It's crazy to let Hubble die. Just crazy.

Our own sun will eventually go Super Nova... yet another reason to push on with exploration and colonization of other worlds.

There's gotta be a way around this. I just find the loss of hubble to be unacceptable!

What is still so cool to me is the fact that M74, the galaxy in which this star resides in ~35,000 kly away. This means the events you are "seeing" and, indeed the light from the entire galaxy, left its source 35 million years ago.

You are actually looking at it as it appeared 35 million years ago, assuming you were God and could see the entire galaxy in real-time. The entire galaxy could be gone now and we wouldn't know it for 35 million more years. So cool.......
