- PPCG4, on 03/27/2009, -0/+18HUGE, and I mean H U G E image of the Sombrero (M104) galaxy:

- pirlok, on 03/26/2009, -0/+9The Universe is hot!
- gweedo767, on 03/27/2009, -0/+9And Atlantis is just about to roll out to the launch pad to get ready for STS-125 (the final Hubble Repair mission). Here is to a few more years of great photos from Hubble.
- wjlaw100, on 03/27/2009, -0/+8Alll we need now is the "Chips and Dip" Galaxy, and we are 1/2 way to a Fiesta!
- GroundIsSound, on 03/26/2009, -0/+7super sweet shots, the sombrero galaxy looks real chill
- Gustomucho, on 03/27/2009, -0/+7No list is complete without http://www.on.br/site_edu_dist_2008/site/conteudo/ ...
Sorry, but no, this is the greatest and most inspiring picture of them all. All those dots are galaxies. This is a tiny patch of dark in the sky. - noahgelman, on 03/27/2009, -0/+7Image 14
M74: The Perfect Spiral. If not perfect, then this spiral galaxy is at least one of the most photogenic. An island universe of about 100 billion stars, 32 million light-years away toward the constellation Pisces, M74 presents a gorgeous face-on view
100 "billion" stars.....
And that's just one galaxy. I can't look at that and not think that there isn't any kind of life out there. - entropysteak, on 03/27/2009, -0/+5what i find astonishing, in that image, are the several other visible galaxies in the background. all of which are probably just as beautiful. check out that crazy double galaxy in the lower left portion.

- ace429k, on 03/27/2009, -0/+5At one point or another all of those pictures have been my background for my computer. I can't wait till the new telescope goes up. I think we still have a few years, but the pictures will be even more stunning!
- ahmiller, on 03/27/2009, -0/+4yet it's not just random photoshopping. the dude who colorizes them does so based on data comprised from what elements are most present in certain exposures and then painstakingly reassembles them into composite images.
- RealmDown, on 03/27/2009, -0/+4The universe is balancing out the troll comments on digg.
- joeblow17, on 03/27/2009, -0/+4What no Hubble Ultra Deep Field, how lame. How hard is it to do five seconds of research, really no wonder newspapers are dying. One of greatest pictures in period is the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, do some research it's your job.

racist bastard... - finklehorn, on 03/27/2009, -0/+3Image 7 "This is the Cone Nebula within the bright galactic star-forming region NGC 2264. Some have claimed this looks like an image of Jesus Christ"
what? no it doesnt. it looks more like the cookie monster. - socomoddjob, on 03/27/2009, -0/+3something weird is going on out there...
- AlienMushroom, on 03/27/2009, -0/+3V838 Mon red supergiant's "flash" explained.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zJL-eBjIFA - ahmiller, on 03/27/2009, -0/+3the colors represent different amounts of key elements like Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Carbon...don't recall the color scheme though.
- happytrees, on 03/27/2009, -0/+3day = made
- 007isbond1, on 03/27/2009, -1/+3This is the best xkcd ever!
- fightingforair, on 03/27/2009, -0/+2"I'm looking for answers in the great beyond."
-R.E.M. - tinyzorz, on 03/27/2009, -0/+2Incredible pictures. Can I find any of them in bigger resolutions?
- Larssonk22, on 03/27/2009, -0/+2Image 3 is freaking creepy. Infact alot of them are creepy, they remind like my childhood nightmares of monsters.
Stunning none the less!! - Supernova36, on 03/27/2009, -0/+2Can someone explain the colours to me?
- thcobbs, on 03/27/2009, -0/+2Big girls need luvin' too!

- ok4you, on 03/27/2009, -1/+3Amazing what you can do with Photoshop. They are colorized.
- RealmDown, on 03/27/2009, -0/+2I disagree. These pictures are not a God damn pain in the ass.
- happytrees, on 03/27/2009, -0/+2I want these to be my desktop background! who wants to make my day and post higher resolution pics?
you? YOU? - ZIRCHxWORLD, on 03/27/2009, -0/+2i'd take the lot
- Yage2006, on 03/27/2009, -1/+3The only story I will probably ever digg from telegraph.co.uk.
- sgnpkd, on 03/28/2009, -0/+2More money on this, less on the ISS please.
- ace429k, on 03/27/2009, -0/+2ya sure? send me the article? Not that I dont believe you. I just don't want my hopes crushed lol. LEAVE ME MY DREAMS! lol
- entropysteak, on 03/27/2009, -0/+2check out the M51 galaxy if you think the M74 is awe inspiring. there is a nice high res image on the wiki page for it.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/db ... [8952px × 6213px] - brucealmighty, on 03/27/2009, -0/+2And you too can photoshop the images to suit your own preferences....just like the artists who colorized all these from the native black and white images....!
- lemonpies, on 03/27/2009, -0/+2and big :-)
- PPCG4, on 03/28/2009, -0/+2Those are NGC 2207 and IC 2163, as featured in the article. They're so close (to M104), yet so friggin far away.
- verynegative, on 03/27/2009, -2/+3***** slides shouldnt be submitted on digg.
Great images anyway. - linksus, on 03/27/2009, -1/+2That crashed firefox!
- kkm3, on 03/27/2009, -0/+1That is just...beautiful.
The size of that is just unthinkable. - scarwars, on 03/27/2009, -1/+2"oh my God—it's full of stars!"
- David Bowman (2001) - wardyaj, on 03/27/2009, -0/+1they are pretty cool!
- Cidinho, on 03/28/2009, -0/+1But also curious...
- shortsellit, on 03/28/2009, -0/+1I think I can see god.
oh, no, just a black hole. - shortsellit, on 03/28/2009, -0/+1APOD
- DreamADream, on 05/10/2009, -0/+1God is a wonderful artist. She has the best imagination. Blessings
- greggerm, on 03/27/2009, -0/+1Picture 18 is awesome not for the foreground image, but for the other galaxies in the background...
As Joeblow mentions - the Hubble Deep Field should be in this list. -
