Everybody loves the Hubble!

There's been a surprisingly large amount of recent articles surrounding the Hubble telescope recently.

An entry over at the Homeboy's Astronomy Blog holds a top-10 list for the writer's favorite images captured by the telescope.


The official website for the Hubble space satellite, Hubblesite.org, has announced a new art exhibit consisting of images captured by the telescope. The exhibit, which is being held at the Walter Art Museum in Baltimore, MD, contains over twenty images collected from the satellite. The article can be read here.

Finally, an article from the John Hopkins News-letter reports that on May 6 the Hubble telescope caught images of what scientists claim to be one of the youngest and brightest galaxies ever recorded. The galaxy, given the very catchy name of "A1689-zD1," will be further observed by the new James Webb Space Satellite which launches in 2013. The article can be read here.
