Foto Friday, Part Deux - Hubble

I just discovered this AM that today marks the 19th anniversary of the Hubble Telescope. The world wouldn't be in order if I didn't acknowledge the start of a period that has brought us some of the most beautiful and spectacular images in the history of mankind.

From Wired...
Entering its 20th year of service, the Hubble Space Telescope has made more than 880,000 observations, taken 570,000 images of 29,000 different celestial objects, and piled up a load of impressive scientific accomplishments.
