Hubble Site - Science For You!

(Hubble Space Telescope pictured at left)


Hi All,

Just a quickie post on this grey, rainy/snowy, cold winter Saturday afternoon...

Hubble Site is the website for the Space Telescope Science Institute (STSCI).  What does that mean for you?  Well, simply put there are videos, galleries, education links, links to the Webb Telescope and Astronomy Exploration for folks who visit the website. 

What I wanted to share today were the photos from the Gallery section of the site.  To say the photos are awesome is an understatement!!!  Click on this link for a bunch of Hubble Space Telescopes' Top Shots.  Click on this link for Hubble Telescope Wallpaper for your computer!

Learn a bit about how the pictures were generated by clicking on this link!  And for the latest news releases click on this link - the HubbleSite Newscenter link.  (It is a complete collection of every Hubble Space Telescope new release and supporting materials.  Additional tools and resources to learn more about astronomy are included!)

And if you are completely obsessed - or just a bit interested in the Hubble Space Telescope - users might want to click on this page - the Stay Connected page which lets users access Hubble images, news, updates and video anytime, anywhere from your smartphone!  How cool is that.  And, users can be put on an email list by visiting the Stay Connected page as well.

Enjoy the photos and the videos from the Hubble Space Telescope - they are awe-inspiring.
