- chillmandan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13This just in, space is huge.
- neuropsychguy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13The list forgot probably the best picture (warning - large file): http://www.firstpr.com.au/astrophysics/hubble-deep-field/Hubble-Deep-Field-1024-wide.bmp
It might not be the prettiest but it is the most impressive for the sheer number of galaxies in the picture. - Laytonx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Where is the Ultra Deep Field?
- patrickewen, on 10/10/2007, -7/+14That is obviously done on MS Paint.
- evilregis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7May as well go with the Ultra Deep Field then... http://imgsrc.hubblesite.org/hu/db/2005/28/images/b/formats/full_jpg.jpg (900KB)
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Hubble Deep Field is the best.
- bootle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Why isn't the deep field listed?
- chrisc262, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5definitely cool, but where's the hi-res versions?
- rkiga, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Would it kill them to add links to the real info and HIGH-res pictures? Maybe I should make a crappy blog to profit from.

Various images from Hubble Ultra Deep Field: http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2004/07/text/ - tradwolley, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4None of these are as amazing as this being a wordpress blog on the front page, and it has yet to crash.
Will wonders never cease? - TranceNW, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5These are awesome
- Spetz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Yeah I know, the Hubble Deep and Ultra Deep Fields are the greatest to me. http://hubblesite.org/ Is a good place for hubble pictures.
- extratired, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4still cant understand why bush pulled the plug on hubble...
- DaleoftheUK, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Duggmirror got it: http://duggmirror.com/space/Hubble_Telescope_s_Top_10_Greatest_Space_Photographs/
- mburk, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I gotta be the 8th grade science teacher here, but every single one of the dots in that image are GALAXIES, not stars. So each dot is filled with billions of stars and there are quite a few dots in that pic. Incredible.
- SuperOmegaSlack, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2This one you can download at 18,000X18,000 pixels!
http://hubblesite.org/gallery/album/nebula_collection/pr2006001a/
I shrank it to 5000X5000, cut it up in Photoshop and printed it out on glossy photo paper... it's 6 X 6 feet and looks awesome in my living room! - tropican8, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2They forgot the Eagle Nebula.
- eamonman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I've downloaded many a Hubble/NASA picture before (I've seen all these before), and found you have to dig a little. Say you go here:
http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/cosmology/universe:%20age_size/2004/07/image/a/
for the 'deep sky' picture. Go to highest quality options, then get the 60 MB JPEG or the 100 MB TIFF. That's one kick ass image. The resolution is so good that you can cut out a single galaxy from the entire image to be your whole screen background (there's some really interesting ones on there)
Note however that not all full resolution images are that pretty. Sometimes the smaller 'meant for download' ones have been cleaned up (noise and contrast fixed), but that's how it goes.
Back a few years ago the large download links were more predominantly displayed, but I guess they didn't want people sucking needless bandwidth. - dynky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The plug has not been pulled... NASA is planning a Hubble Servicing Mission for 2008:
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/servicing/index.html - reddoggie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Links to the high-res images can be found by following the "Highest-quality download options" links on most of the pages you listed.
- cfuse, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Space = cool.
- Prathik89, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Wheres the Dark Horse nebula?
- dynky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1An extensive gallery of Hubble images:
http://hubblesite.org/gallery/ - MacSuxWindozSux, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1They're several billion light years away, several billion years ago.
By now, they're so far away it's ... ludicrous! - raymore, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Space 1, Me 0. Impressive.
- twotimesthru, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I would totally hitch a ride on the Hubble to see these places. I don't care if I could never come back.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1...'cause it's root, root, root for the home team?
- Spetz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yes but because the Universe is expanding, by the time you'd reach these object's they'd be further away.
- Rsardinia, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Holy Crap! 50,000 Light years with 800 Billion Suns. Makes you feel quite small and insignificant on this little planet in our little solar system.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+178 billion light years? Didn't the big bang only happen ~15 billion years ago?
- reddoggie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/nebula/2001/12/
- TheKricket, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1i still think of binaural everytime i see a pic of that hourglass nebula
amazing how gorgeous these all are... - theMurdocVolta, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Has anyone found any signs of a black hole, or strange happenings?
- LuxFX, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"Recently, astronauts voted on"
I hope they meant "astronomers" -- and know the difference.... - delcofiftyfive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1These are Fake. The hubble telescope dosn't have a star filter so you don't get the "+" refraction on stars.
- trollick, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Photoshoped
- Merrick015, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0thank you....
- prleet, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1You oviously do not know about the deep field, yup the one that is 78 billion light years away..kind like thats big the universe is..where every little dot, smudge is a galaxy itself....
- mmmthmtskier, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Actually, the "photoshopped" comments have an element of truth: Nobody really knows what these objects look like(unless the are seen by the naked eye, good luck). There was an article in the Los Angeles Times where they admitted as such. These "colorized" photos have an element of artistic license to them. Having said that, beautiful none the less...
- STx1900, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Not on some ***** wordpress blog...
- inactive, on 11/25/2007, -0/+0Cheapest and the best data recovery service in the world.

elevator shoes
Turn any shoes into height increase elevator shoes. - delcofiftyfive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1And still they are FAKE
- ianam, on 12/08/2008, -0/+0You're obviously a maroon.
- PeakAction, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1It looks to me like there was some bad Photoshop cloning done on the photo of the Trifid Nebula. Look just lower-left of center and note the repetition. They're trying to hide the mothership.
- fistikuffs, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0hope so too. there is no excuse to be that dumb, it says astronomers in the article
- BadbCatha, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Its a shame Deep Field didn't make that list. The amount of galaxies outside our own is amazing
- DarkDx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Oh sh*t the 18000x18000 jpeg file needs 927 mb of free ram (as stated in their site). I just have 512mb and 215 are being used.
- sdnalednas, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Love the photos, but why do these 'top 10' type lists so often start at the no. 1 image/thing. Don't they get it.... it's a little bit of a buzz kill.
- snurfle, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1#8.
- newbill123, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1I can't wait to use these on my Leopard desktop: so much better than the new space theme posted recently on digg. My favorite images (the Trifid Nebula and the Perfect Storm) deceptively look more like fantasy illustrations than science to my prejudicial eye. All are absolutely amazing.
