The Hubble images are magnificent. I've used them from time to time as desktop wallpaper or background images in digital work. The video was stunning and awe inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love that government images are freely available :)
DeleteThese photos are always so amazing to me! Thanks for sharing and adding some inspiration to my morning. I can't believe the Hubble has been up in space so long. Time is flying way too fast. Happy Wednesday. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI imagine there'll be a lot of celebration for the 30th anniversary year.
DeleteI remember when they launched Hubble and I remember when they went up to repair it, too. It was a bold mission and saved NASA from looking like fools.
ReplyDeleteAlso stopped by to let you know I am back on my original blog. I couldn't be happier, either.
The need for that initial repair is memorable.
DeleteIt was so good to see your original blog show up in my news reader again :)
Hubble redefined awe for me. :)
ReplyDeleteYes! Those photos!
DeleteAmazing.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it! I hear they're lining up a replacement for 2021 (if I'm remembering the year correctly). I wonder what we'll see then :)
DeleteWonderful photos, Hubble is a wonder! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed at each new photo :)
