There are times when “Wow!” just isn’t enough of a word. Astronomers just released movies made by stitching together 14 years of Hubble Space Telescope images to reveal the beautiful and fascinating movements of stellar gas clouds surrounding newborn stars.
The Space Shuttle Atlantis launched today (Monday, 5/11/09, 12:01 pm MDT) on the fourth and (declared) final mission to service the 20-year old Hubble Space Telescope.
Launched in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has opened our eyes to a whole new world of imagery of deep space unlike anything achievable through traditional ground-based telescopes.
