those are great pictures, but with the exception of hoag's object what are the others? i'd like to know. the first sort of looks like m31, but it
looks more like a hubble deep field shot.
Yeah.. the Hubble is truly amazing... better enjoy it while you can though! It seems ridiculous to let that piece of machinery burn up in the
atmosphere instead of sending a service mission to it (it will run out of fuel within a few years)! Its replacement wont be ready until after 2010
and isnt supposed to be as good either... which really makes no sense...
Seems like there should be a way to mount something to to the ISS to span the gap between 'real' space telescopes.
