Photos from Hubble Space Telescope

I received an interesting email today with the top ten photographs taken by the Hubble telescope. I always mention something about our awesome galaxy, space/time reality on my radio show, Shaman's Hand. Here's a link to more pictures.

The Sombrero Galaxy - 28 million light years from Earth - was voted best picture taken by the Hubble telescope. The dimensions of the galaxy, officially called M104, are as spectacular as its appearance. It has 800 billion suns and is 50,000 light years across.


Here's the Hubble site. Here's the Hubble Heritage Project.
