The Hubble Space Telescope

How cool is this telescope? Bash NASA all you want, but this telescope is an unqualified winner. The photo is of the Crab Nebula, the only fixed remains of a supernova. Amazing.



Wispy filaments, primarily of hydrogen, weave through the Crab Nebula, at the center of which sits a neutron star that spins 30 times per second. -- AP photo
