Hubble: The Ultimate Telescope
This superb documentary has been quite a hit with the critics. A fascinating look at one of the most advanced space telescopes, it meets the scientists and engineers who put the telescope into space, the astronauts who fixed its faulty eyesight and the astronomers who use Hubble to unlock the secrets of the universe. Enjoy this fine rip from group FTP.
Positioned outside of the Earth’s atmosphere, the Hubble Space Telescope has stared out over billions of light years, to the far-reaching corners of the universe. It is regarded as one of the most important scientific instruments ever built, deepening our understanding of the cosmos.

What proof? Proves what? How? Show me the proof. Where is this place, heaven? What is heaven? Define heaven for me. Why would a God who "loves you" creat something so far away you could never get there? Ahh Blind Faith! Right, I forgot about that. If Hubble can see 10 Billion light years, and where we thought was nothing, turns out there is more of the same,,, where does it end? Does it end? Tell me this, how could something so vast have a "shell" or outer limit? No, I don't think there is, I think it goes on forever, literally in every aspect of the meaning, infinetely.

Can't refrain people from having emotions though. When I look at the many pictures of nebula's I have on my puter,"heavenly" is one of the adjectives that pops to my mind.
reply | permalinkThank you Hubble project for filling my life with sights and thoughts people that lived only 50 years ago could never have imagined.
In my view, living in this space/time of ours is one great privilege, even if only to see what those "heavens" are really made of.
What an eye opener this "Hubble era" is.

I hate when people refer to the cosmos as the 'heavens', it kind of defeats the point in the fact that this very invention blows apart the belief in heaven, therefore the word no longer needs using.
