Your Monday Photo Shoot: Hubble's 15th Birthday
Today marksthe 15th anniversay of the Hubble Space Telescope's launch -- and that being the case, I thought we'd do something special for the Monday Photo Shoot:
The Monday Photo Shoot: Show off your favorite Hubble Space Telescope image. Tell us why you love it.
This almost seems like cheating.... I LOVE the Hubble Site and have spent a lot of time there looking at images. There is no looking thru pictures to find a suitable one, or finding a suitable subject TO take a picture of and editing them and preparing them for web viewing. Just go to the Hubble Site, pick up my favorite (and yes, I AM a Geek and have a few favorites), save it to my computer and upload to my FTP space. Easy! And still, here it is Friday evening and I am just getting around to doing it <g>
I chose to feature this image for a couple of reasons. First, I like the name: Horsehead Nebula, and second I think it sort of looks like a horse's head, and third I like Horses <g>.
So, here it is, my favorite Hubble image:

I've always been facinated with the pics that come from Hubble and this one is no different. Excellent choice!

clap clap clapping Bravo, I love this. I can feel so much energy here!

LOL! Greetings, fellow space geek!
I could have guessed the Horsehead Nebula would be your favorite! I have that one on my computer, too...
Isn't it amazing...the universe? I think that sending the Hubble up was one of the best things that man has accomplished in a long time. I remember seeing one photo called "God's Eye" I mean totally awesome, I never realized the array of colors that abound....Sandi
Just catching up on my favorite journals. Awesome picture! I think it's my favorite hubble picture as well, being that it's pretty and it's the only one I've seen. Rock on!
