  • TobiasParker, on 09/03/2008, -1/+7I am not sure you are qualified to make that judgment.
  • inactive, on 09/03/2008, -1/+6Beautiful image,

    On a side note, NASA's website kicks ass. For a government website, it sure is pleasing on the eyes

    I wish more websites used that kind of color scheme
  • TobiasParker, on 09/03/2008, -0/+4What judgment, i said i wasn't sure if he was. I figured he wasn't an astronomer based on the "little blobs of light" and "two little smudges" comments.
  • ryanonfire, on 09/03/2008, -0/+4The full size is crazy you can see the spirals of galaxies.
  • Kronos6948, on 09/03/2008, -0/+2The idea that these are whole galaxies is mind boggling. It really puts into perspective just how large the universe is.
  • hyperden, on 09/03/2008, -0/+2Now that is amazing :)
  • dynky, on 09/03/2008, -0/+1The story behind the image and other image versions for your downloading pleasure: http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/ ...
  • inactive, on 09/03/2008, -0/+1awsome images
  • d03boy, on 09/03/2008, -1/+1Photoshopped..just like the moon landing!
  • cygnus2112, on 09/03/2008, -2/+2Two little smudges and little blobs of light - reminds me of my conception.
  • TEEMANOID, on 09/03/2008, -2/+1Backs up the idea of dark matter somewhat, would be better if they had actually found something out about it and not just that something is there.

    Least it gave us some nice pictures : )
  • inactive, on 09/03/2008, -4/+0And you're not qualified to make that judgment because you don't know about B1663r's educational qualifications
  • inactive, on 09/03/2008, -5/+1I really digg this imagery but wow, I have to disagree with their science. I think there are two little smudges there and as far away as they are and as dim as they are, I don't think you can qualify them as anything other than little blobs of light mixed with noise from this data.

    On Edit: Whoops never mind I was thinking it was a different picture;) Ohhh ahhh pretty pictures!
  • inactive, on 09/03/2008, -5/+1Im not qualified to judge little smudges of light on a photographic plate or im not qualified to declare this a pretty picture?
