Amazing. B-)

It looks like an animation.

Maybe it's just me, but keeping the Hubble telescope sounds like a better idea than a manned mission to Mars.

[Joe G]

It's not just you.

[jazzbo]

Then again, if they'd rather invade MARS than say. . . .

I'm with you on this one. Why send humans to Mars when you can do it with robots. Put more resources in keeping Hubble going.

I agree. I've seen a lot of movies where people go to Mars and things always go badly for them.

Wait for Mars to come to us!

Hey!!! There's that missing disc-one from my Herbie Hancock MWANDISHI set I thought I'd lost!

Anyone got a rocket I can borrow to get out there and get it?

Considering the psych record's covers of the 60's, you don't need a telescope to obtain imagine like this.

Or Fripp used a telesope shot for this King Crimson record?

It looks like a psychadelic painting, but it is indeed a picture made by Hubble:

I thought this thread may have been about this great shot

Let's not forget that the Spirit and Opportunity rovers are still truckin' around the surface of Mars. They just got a new 18 month extension, too. Remember, their original mission was only 90-days - it's now been nearly 1 1/2 years.

This is a great site......has THOUSANDS of pictures, too.

I was hoping for hockey myself...withdrawal symptoms!

It's amazing. Hubble, thanks to the beautiful pictures it produces, has been the single greatest public relations success that NASA has had during the last 15 years...so they're NOT going to maintain it, and just let the thing die. Brilliant.

I've been bitching about this administration's scientific stupidity for a couple of years now. I live near Brookhaven National Labs, so I'm probably more aware of the personnel cutbacks that they've had due to President Shitforbrains. And the cutbacks at Nasa so that they'll be able to fund the idiotic Send a man to Mars program while shitcanning Hubble and other science projects.

Think about it===why are we supporting the space-station. There isn't a vestige of real science coming out of that program compared to Hubble!!!!.
