Wow I didn't expect them to be out this soon
I'm also looking forward to the telescopes set to launch in the coming years. Several times more powerful than Hubble

The universe is such a beautiful thing.
Beautiful, but deadly.

answer for photo #2: a butterfly-shaped nebula, 3,800 light-years from Earth
A nebula (from Latin: "cloud" [1]; pl. nebulae or nebulæ, with ligature or nebulas) is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen gas, helium gas and plasma. Originally nebula was a general name for any extended astronomical object, including galaxies beyond the Milky Way (some examples of the older usage survive; for example, the Andromeda Galaxy was referred to as the Andromeda Nebula before galaxies were discovered by Edwin Hubble). Nebulae often form star-forming regions, such as in the Eagle Nebula. This nebula is depicted in one of NASA's most famous images, the "Pillars of Creation". In these regions the formations of gas, dust and other materials "clump" together to form larger masses, which attract further matter, and eventually will become big enough to form stars. The remaining materials are then believed to form planets, and other planetary system objects.

yeah, and in the third one every discernible object is a different galaxy. You know, like the Milky Fucking Way, just many of them.

I actually get scale and size and such... well, at least as much as most people... I just don't really get that turned on by hubble pics. Idk... I'd much much much rather see an amazing sunset or anything with vivid colors.
It's not like those photos are even in the visible spectra... so you aren't "seeing" jack shit other than what people code from other sources of the EM spectra... I are teh drunks.. so go eff ur moththers...

If you setup a camera and open the shutter in an extremely dark landscape only faintly lit by the stars and leave it there all night youll probably get an awesome photograph. Does the fact that you couldnt, with your naked eye, see this landscape in this capactiy detract from the awesome shot?
And I could be wrong, but I believe that some of these shots are from the visible wavelength..

With is fine. Though your old man does talk WAYYYYYYYYY too much, he typically quiets himself when he's got my foreskin on his tonsils.

You bet, though it's gonna take a while. The next thing planned is the James Webb telescope in 2013 or so, but its main objective is finding earth-like planets, not making awesome wallpapers. The true Hubble replacement, the ATLAST telescope, is still a couple decades away unfortunately.
"ATLAST is envisioned as a flagship mission of the 2025 - 2035 period, designed to address one of the most compelling questions of our time: Is there life elsewhere in our Galaxy? It will accomplish this by detecting "biosignatures" (such as molecular oxygen, ozone, water, and methane) in the spectra of terrestrial exoplanets. But ATLAST is more than just a "life-finder." ATLAST will have the performance required to reveal the underlying physics that drives star formation and to trace the complex interactions between dark matter, galaxies, and the intergalactic medium. Because of the large leap in observing capabilities that ATLAST will provide, we cannot fully anticipate the diversity or direction of the investigations that will dominate its use – just as the creators of HST did not foresee its pioneering roles in characterizing the atmospheres of Jupiter-mass exoplanets or measuring the acceleration of cosmic expansion using distant supernovae. ATLAST will have the versatility to outlast the scientific vision of current-day astronomers."

Since people that like to think about their relative size to these awesome pics, i figure you'll like to think about the protons that make up that picture.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az7Kl_pL7fw
New theory stats that protons are akin to black holes of the mass of the universe which move at the speed of light. I dont understand it, but the youtube video says it makes sense.

Yes, I brought a knife to this gunfight,
just the other day I mugged a mountain.
So bring that shit, I've had practice.

I've uninstalled it since I didn't find I needed to use it that often so I can't go through and see if I had to monkey with anything. But I don't recall ever having to. It definitely worked on Hulu since that was reason I installed it to begin.
The only thing I remember is I couldn't run it through Firefox it only worked with IE.

Yeah because that's pretty much all the Hubble is. Just using science to create the world's slowest shutter speed.
