Although it has received a death sentence with little hope of reprieve, “the Hubble Space Telescope has now seen to within “a stone’s throw” of the Big Bang itself“.

Hubble spent four months looking at one patch of sky, to come up with some amazing images.

The Hubble Deep Field site has information about the project and pictures.

If you’ve never looked at the images taken by the Hubble, you don’t know what you’re missing. You can go to the HubbleSite and view the Gallery to see some of the pictures.

And remember, this telescope that has taken so many amazing pictures will not be upgraded or repaired, and could cease to function at any time.
