Amazing Images for the Hubble Telescope
Jan 28th, 2008 by admin
The Hubble Telescope is responsible for some of the “most amazing” photographs of the space and the universe that man kind has ever seen. The telescope is one of the most expensive missions that have been taken up by us humans. No wonder, we have tried to do everything to ensure that this beauty did what it was made to do – reveal the untold secrets of a deep dark space where explosions are beautiful!
“Most amazing” these are the two words that are used most often to describe the photographs that were taken by the orbital observatory; and why not; the photographs are nothing less than awesome. Who would have thought that the telescope would be able to produce photographs that explain everything from the evolution in the cosmic world to the cosmic renaissance?
After all of this, NASA says that it was planning to kill Hubble. Kill! Hubble was never alive; well, that’s what most of us would say, but, doesn’t it seem like Hubble is an ingenious photographer. Anyways, that’s a matter of individualistic perspective and opinion.
The technological marvel has been responsible for some awe inspiring pictures of a space that is sometimes described as vast emptiness. The telescope revealed such different shades of the vast emptiness. This revelation comes as a mystic food for thought and inquisitiveness of scholars at NASA.
This particular picture was taken by the Hubble Telescope way back in 1996. Back then the scene that was captured by the telescope was 5,000 light years away from the earth. This would mean that the light had been given out from the source, which was located in the heart of the Nebula Lagoon 5,000 years before Hubble could capture it; and this is just the beginning.
For all those who wonder how it would be when a comet strikes the earth; here is a picture that was captured back in 1994 – 95, by the marvelous telescope. The picture sees the impact of a comet by the name of Shoemaker – Levy 9, after it struck the surface of the largest planet in our solar system – Jupiter.
Then there are images that left astrophysicists stunned. The images featured a stellar formation that is one of the most unusual of its kinds. This stellar formation, by the name of Eta Carinae was observed by the telescope. This image not only left us stunned but also challenged several theories that have been devised by us.
Besides, this is the most popular picture and is often regarded as the best image to have been captured by the Hubble telescope – the Spiral Galaxy.
Then there is the popular picture that was dubbed as the God’s eye, and circulated through out the world. Many of us have seen it before in those e-mails. Again individualistic opinion is what will determine you reaction to this picture.
All these pictures were sure observed and captured by the Hubble telescope. However, what seems to be more inspiring is the fact that we humans are the ones who made this marvelous and ingenious photographer. Obviously “we” here, refers to the scholars at NASA.
They have had to deal with disappointment, triumphs, blunders, and frustrating times, to taste the sweet nectar of success; and they still continue to toil hard so that the telescope can capture what we only dreamt of. Right from when it was set free in the Earth’s orbit up to today, several numbers of repairs and renovations that have been performed on the massive telescope.
Imagine floating men floating high in the sky trying to fix things right so that we can enjoy the beautiful explosions that occur far off some where in the vast emptiness. Well, these men also work hard to figure out if there are more of us out there.
Imagine unscrewing screws that were never meant to be unscrewed so that the telescope would not produce any blur images; and the tougher part here is not unscrewing the screws but ensuring that the unscrewed screws do not float away somewhere. Funny! It isn’t.
So much hard work! Well let’s just kill it! No ways, how could we let the Hubble Telescope just die as it orbited the Earth; and well if it were not for our outrage at the slightest thought of killing it, the scholars at NASA would have never made efforts to save it. Well, yes the telescope needs to do some more work before it can die a peaceful death.
How do we make this possible? Well all we do is change the old parts in the telescope and replace them with newer more sophisticated ones. That’s it! It is not really very difficult as we have done this whole refurbishing exercise so many times with the Hubble that now it is just a matter of moving your hands when you float in space with an oxygen mask on.
After all this refurbishing and renovation and repair we can be assured of the fact that the telescope would keep capturing several more of those marvelous pictures at least till some time after the year 2013. In fact, efforts are being made in order to at least extend the life of the photographer till around the year 2024 – at least rumor says so!
However, there are several scholars who do not really want to tamper with the whole motive of trying to understand our universe in a better manner. After all, it is not really fair that we forget the whole aim of spending over US $ billion and being all emotional about it. We could always spend another US $ billion to create something that we can call Hubble II and that will capture pictures that are several times sharper. Besides, then, we would enjoy the whole experience of explaining those weird shapes and vibrant colors in our own ways; and off course how could we forget the scholars who would then be able to understand the cosmic world better; and for the better!
Oh my god! Thank you for posting these pictures. They’re simply amazing. I had no idea pictures like these were really taken. It doesn’t look anything like the “wannabe” stuff that I’ve seen artists try to do in the past either.
Beautiful. Thanks alot.

The most profound pic.”s I’ve ever seen! Imagine the power that led to the birth of these spectacular living systems. Uncomprehendable!!!!! Can’t wait to see what ya ll do next~ Thank You for making these pic.’s available to everyone.
I love the pictures, my favorite is “GODs EYE” And Halleys comet is cool and the picture of Eta Carinae is awsome the spirals look like you could reach out and touch them. THANK YOU
Absolutely breathtaking. It makes you really see how small you are in a universe of such vast beauty. Thank you for sharing them with the world. Just awesome.
it’s awesome!!! IT makes you wonder that how outerspace posses its beauty..
Inspiring!!! Really they are!!! It made me think to surf the universe someday….
this is totally amazing plz guys plz send me the latest pics to my id which i already gave u or my id is krissy_diamondheart@hotmail.com
and i wanna know if it is natural or made up……….and love u guys…
As scientists we are supposed to propose that what we see from hubble is a function of gravity, electro-magnetic force, and radiation…a supreme power and intellect just doesnt fit. But look at these pix; look around us; evolution has been de-bunked on statistical probability alone. Such beauty only comes from Supreme beauty…think about it.
This was all creted by one man n one man only, God
I love your images i think they are cool and i wish to be a astrophysisist witch is prnonsed a rocketscientist witch mister ross says is cool i hope to be with you guys one day i think you guys are so cool you guys are the best in the world hope you guys write back dan
Love images of all deep space particularly Nebulae and Supernova. Would hate for the Hubble to be left as debris and feel it is a backward step. On the plus I have heard rumours of a bigger more powerful telescope being built, would appreciate to hear more. Keep up the GOOD work from an amateur!
Wow! This is impressive pictures you got posted here. I’d love to go travel through space and see all this wonderful things live. For some reason tho, I think this pictures are photoshoped (modified)
When I watch the pictures from the Hubble i can’t help myself but be amazed of the power and wonders and how magnificent The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY is!
Thank you so much for putting these Hubble images on the internet for all the world to see. Could God be preparing us for the devastation of this world by creating a new one for future generations? These photos can’t help but move one to tears. God is such an awesome man.
WOW its sooo amzing!!god u people just have to FREAK OUT!!!(over reacters)
How could anyone look at these and yet wonder if there is a God?!
His handiwork is awesome. And yes, I do feel small.
the hubble telescope is amazing. i think that it could prove the existence of life in other galaxies.
sorry to ruin everyone’s enthusiasm but… there is no god. these are all pictures of naturally occurring chemical and physical reactions between different elements at extreme conditions. not the work of some “all powerful entity.” o, and the earth is more than 5,000 years old too to all of the retards who think it was created in 7 days. sorry to ruin your fun. sweet pics by the way
Thanks for the comments, its nice to know all the hard work is appreciated. Enjoy what’s to come.
Some of us watched the Hubble repairs for all the time they were televised, and think the Hubble telescope is truly out of this world!
What a wonderful bunch of work, and terrific invention! We live in a really special time, and hope we can get through our global warming crisis in enough time to retain life of the species we live here with now, with no more extinctions! We must retain the glaciers and icepacks! This planetary system is so wonderful, and the Hubble gives us the opportunity to peek in at it all. Thanks to all the pioneering astronomers and astrophysicists for letting us see all this astonishing material in space.
Is it more amazing to look at these pictures and wonder how many worlds are out there that support life, or is it more amazing to realize its possible that God created all that is out there only to support life on earth. This can’t be an accident.
i love the hubble telescope , i hope they dont destroy it , its very important , the pictures are amazing .
i really loved the big picyures they were really affective!

cya xx Rose Thomas xx
OMG! i jus lov da picz dey r soooo COOL!
cya guyz xx
stunning pictures. just beautiful. had me in tears, thinking of God and how awesome He is. How he is making stars right now, and that ever since He first spoke the universe into existance, it(His word) is still travelling and creating more and more and more, beyond our imagination and understanding. Unfathomable. What a beautiful artist, beyond dreams.
Прикольно!:) Но есть и минус небольшой! У меня скорость инета 56 кбит в секунду. Пага грузилась около 15 секунд.
Да, похоже что в действительности - так оно и есть. P.S. Сайт, кстати, у вас прикольно сверстан
these r the most amazing things ive ever seen i just have so many questions about earth, why where here, r there other life forms on other planets????????????????? i wish someone new everything but before we know it someone will know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
