More generally, google “Hubble anniversary images”. Can hardly wait for the James Webb Space Telescope, scheduled for launch in 2020.

Serious about crackers.

"This year, the star of the anniversary show is the Lagoon Nebula, a colossal hub of star birth that's 55 light-years wide and 20 light-years tall"

Once again, I am humbled by the beauty of the universe and the sheer immensity of distances involved.

I remember when Hubble went up. I can't believe it was so long ago. The universe is just so amazing. I can't wait until the next telescope goes up. Very exciting.
