Happy Halloween from Hubble!
October 31, 2008 on 7:27 am | In Astronomy, Hubble |
The Hubble Space Telescope, shut down for months now, came back online earlier this week and looks to be working just fine again. Check out its latest picture and see for yourself!
But I’m going to be running around in my Halloween Costume today; pictures tomorrow, I promise. In the meantime enjoy some scary Halloween Astronomy pictures, courtesy of the Hubble Space Telescope.
First up, we have eyeballs, starting with the Cat’s Eye Nebula:

Then there’s NGC 6751, which for some reason isn’t called the Eyeball Nebula:

And now we turn to astro-ghosts, with the Ghost Head Nebula (NGC 2080):

And finally, a little challenge! Can you spot the monster in this picture?

Happy Halloween!
Update: And if you get a chance this weekend, I’ve just been informed that two interesting shows are premiering on the National Geographic channel this weekend: Five Years On Mars this Sunday at 8 PM (about the Mars rovers) and Calling All Aliens after that at 10 PM (about SETI). Check it out if you’ve got time; they sound awesome!
