I read with delight on the BBC news website this morning that a
rescue mission to renew failing systems and install new instruments to
the Hubble space telescope will be going ahead after it was canceled
after the space shuttle Columbia disaster. This important for several
reasons. Some of the most amazing discoveries have been made about our
universe with the help of Hubble and given the rate of these discoveries
its entirely possible that there are many more waiting to happen if
Hubble is given the chance.
This is of course not to mention that some of the most beautiful images of our universe have come in through its mirror system - images that have left the world in awe. In an attempt to share with you the importance of this rescue mission I’ve uploaded a set of images from Hubble that I feel justifies all the effort being made and some more.
Long live Hubble!
