HUBBLE'S DEEPEST VIEW EVER OF THE UNIVERSE UNVEILS EARLIEST GALAXIES (STScI-PR04-07)

HUBBLE'S DEEPEST VIEW EVER OF THE UNIVERSE UNVEILS EARLIEST GALAXIES Yet again, Hubble produces incredible images and yet it is to be scrapped. Just unbelievable! |

There is a congressional hearing on NASA safety issues and HST in two days time (Thursday, if I'm not misinformed) and a bill is being prepared which will likely also be signed by some Republicans. So call them today because these personal touches do make an impression! Knud. |

BV, I read somewhere that the area covered by this image, in the sky, is the equivalent of looking through a soda straw 8' long. If true, that is amazing; considering all that is there in the photo.

DR For me, even if this image covered 80 degrees of the sky, I would be amazed. I mean, to think we are just this little speck in the outer arm of our galaxy, and yet when we look up there just so many more arms out there. So many more specks could be possible. I guess it's that images like this give me a feel for how small we are, and how big our universe is. And to think, this is only the part we can see...what's beyond...oh my. BV. |

Does anyone have any thoughts on the image yet? ... Soooo humbling! The old ones are so far in the past, they've been and gone already. The new ones - somewhat older than me! How many civilisations? How many intelligent beings? How many whatever? Bringing it back to human scale - what's the chances of me being able to image this using my amateur equipment 20 years from now? Don't laugh! Can't today's amateurs rival Palomar (and film) of 20 years ago using 12" scopes and CCD's? Beats |
