Astronomers’ Top 10
Amazing Pictures taken
by Hubble Space Telescope
• After correcting an initial problem with the lens, when
the Hubble Space Telescope was first launched in
1990, the floating astro-observatory began to relay
back to Earth incredible snapshots of the 'final
frontier' it was perusing.
• Recently, astronauts voted on the top photographs
taken by Hubble in its 16-year journey so far.
Remarking in the article from the Daily Mail, reporter
Michael Hanlon says the photos “…illustrate that our
universe is not only deeply strange, but also almost
impossibly beautiful.” (Nov 25th, 2006)
