HST is the absolute bomb! I go to the site every evening before bed and check out the wonders of God's universe. Simply astounding, especially the Deep Field Images!

I am in love with the new camera Hubble has now. The pics are 1000 times better! The butterfly is absolutly amazing to me. To me the second pic looks like a volcano exploding and the trid one is a beautiful galaxay.
Thanks for posting these.
