I dont see how people can believe a "god" created all this or that "the big bang" really happened we can't be right no one here on earth really knows there theories people get so butthurt only the smartest civilizations who have been in the universe for millions of years might know were just too dumb
if hubble telescope has that powerful capability, I think we can look at the moon and other planets under a microscope. Imagine that. How come we don't have HD pictures of the lunar surface? Are they hiding something. WTF!
@vgg767 its not about the power of the telescope its about the size of the mirror , hubble is to small to see the moons surface up close let alown other planets in are universe hd lunar surfce pic and vid links below

This is the reason why I wanted to be a Aerospace engineer at NASA when I was just at the age of 8! =3 Too bad HST is going to be decommissioned when I join NASA D= (Such a big dream for a 12 year old eh?)
can you imagine what we would see if we had a Hubble orbiting another body in our solar system. also what every happened to voyager have we stopped receiving info yet?
i think the guy doing the audio must have been a million lightyears away. very cool video. i love the butterfly nebula. its a thing of beauty. untouched by the wicked hand of man. amazing.
And yes,I always go a little dewy eyed in awe and wondrance seeing those rockets building up that thrust before finally almost groaning off the launch pad then onwards to throttle up!
If this instrument can so beautifully permeate so far into the cosmos, why is that there are almost no pictures made about some close by stars in great detail. I mean just a star. When I was a kid I always fantasized about telescopes that have magnifying powers so great that you can actually see another star so closely like it was our own sun. Of course these pictures are amazing!
eydos: My guess is that the sky is so vast that Hubble can only examine an tiny fraction of the cosmos throughout it's entire lifetime. This means that every sector of the cosmos that Hubble focuses on is given much thought. Thus, when Hubble is directed at objects thousands of lightyears away, it actually collects more data as it captures a greater swath of the universe. But I agree with you, it would be nice to see near objects in great detail. The question is, how much will we learn?
oh right so we cant down load directly from you tube, just iv watched videos where the user asks for us to down load and to post the video on our channels
im supposed to skroll down to the bottom of the page and type the title into google chrome and find it that way...yea?
can you tell im not very well educated in using computers.lol
It is possible to download videos from YouTube, but that was not what I meant- I must've been a bit ambiguous. What I wanted to say was that I had checked the Hubble images before and downloaded them- before I saw this video.
I don't understand what you mean by scrolling down to the bottom of the page? If you want to find the pictures you go to Google and paste "Images from Refurbished Hubble" into the search bar.
Aye. Although I wished I was able to see Mars, the storms of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn with my own eyes from orbit...I reckon my descendants will have to do this for me. Heres to the species buddy, heres to SCIENCE!! :D
@luker4459 we wii maybe be seeing much more amazing things in just 150 to 200 years since they have made a huge leap forward in the understanding of anti-matter and they say that they will be able to produce small amounts of it in a very near future, it will only take abot 10 gram of anti-matter to get the a space shuttle up in orbit, anti-matter creates a huge amount of energy so we will also maybe see a new reliable power source in about 100 year who knows.
Dunno 'bout that but markarian 817 was the galaxy with the bright center taken 9 september. They said in some cases the center outshines a galaxy. I wonder how it will be if you were to live in that galaxy :).

Ok, so this is cool and everything, but why in the hell is our government spending money on this crap when we have an economic crisis and a war on our hands?
There will always be an excuse to turn inward and not conduct any research into the universe or anything for that matter. Setting aside some time and effort for research is a good idea, and certainly we have gained a great deal of understanding from Hubble alone.
The knowledge we have gained might have cost billions. It was worth all the money. It allowed us to put satelites in our orbit etc. Our understanding helps us make predictions on the future of our planet and solar-system. Plus, the knowledge we've gained will never be lost. Who knows what the next discoveries might tell us!
What happens to money when NASA spends it? Does it get blown into space, or does it recirculate throughout the economy, flowing through their contractors, subcontractors, employees, etc?
NASA's budget is ~0.4% of the US GDP, i.e. less than a cent of each tax dollar funds their programs, to fund science and building technology such as digital cameras, kidney dialysis machines, the CAT scanner, ear thermometers, cordless power tools, shoe insoles, water purifiers etc.
You could also invest that money into direct research. In that case you wouldn't have water purifiers as a "by product" of space research.
And that way you can get even more people a job, for you don't have to spend so much om (already research-wise established) space shuttles with their enormous costs.
Science doesn't work that way, applied uses are often not apparent, or even non-existent.
Research has to be done for its own sake - it's wonderful if you can immediately apply it right after, but more often than not it will 'just' provide knowledge.
Because the benefits we have gained from this crap including military advances that have given us a greater advantage in war and medical advances that keep you healthier and happier as well as advances in agriculture and technology, new lower cost materials, etc, etc,
Far outweigh the minor cost of keeping these programs going.
A simple google search would have answered your question.
You can't really put a price tag on knowledge either way, we don't know what discoveries it will lead to, it's simply a price that has to be paid - even if it were much higher.
Whenever I think of Hubble I think of this amazing picture I saw from it once in high school, in astronomy class. It was a picture of a black piece of sky the size "of a dime viewed from 75 feet," and it was just hundreds of galaxies. The scope and scale of thing just blew my mind and I couldn't think about anything else for the rest of the day. The new images from the telescope really bring back some that that wonder.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't what you guys might think, but to say the least nasa hides a lot... I have this beautiful evolutionary vision of human being like sagan, but I despite the behavior of the elite...
HUBBLE telescope should be renamed to HUMBLE.
This should be our aproach to the mystery, not in a materialistic dumbass caos evolucionary belief system we live in...
everybody has it's own time to realize, I'm just saying this 'out loud' cos I believe time and history is changing... right now..
The telescope is named after astronomer Edwin Hubble, who discoverd through redshift that the velocity at which various galaxies are receding from the Earth is proportional to their distance from us. This has become known as Hubble´s law and it proves that the universe is expanding. It´s not just some name they made up. You are an uneducated conspiracy theoriest with a astronomy and biology education of a 4th grader.
I can assure you I'm far more well educated in biology, genetics and astronomy than you. And just because of that I am able to make a statement like that. The dumbass here is you... calling ur self a "secular humanist" with no respect what so ever to other person's thoughts. I'm pretty aware of the telescope name's history, thank you.
I as I see what you don't (yet) see, I would rather call it Humbble, and I believe hubble would love that too.
Thats why you belive in magic rather then in evidence right? You can not even define evolution but you say you know anything about biology or genetics? Thats ridiculous.
As a secular humanist i dont have to respect arrogant, anti-scientific and most of all ridiculous statements by people who never read a single textbook in their life. In fact I see it as my duty to expose them. You claim to know the history of the telescope but you want to change the name into something completely meaningless?
I always get an uneasy feeling when I see things like this because I know that I will never truly be able to grasp the size an distances of the objects like I can so easily do with everyday objects. In fact, it's hard to picture scales with anything bigger than a small mountain.
The zooms are just tremendously illuminating. With them one can see the scale of the final pictures; they aren't just pretty pictures, they become part of an integrated whole. The context added is just great. I want to see more of that.
All they'd have to do is build a Space Elevator out of carbon nanotubes. This idea has already been suggested, and they're working on a way as we speak. Soon, regular trips to earth's orbit wont cost billions and waste tons of resources :-)
Yeah, that's true. We might have to clean up a bit out there, or something. Who knows how we'll get that done? But I still think the idea of a space elevator is awesome. We could make daily trips to outer space, and that would greatly further technologies for space exploration, experimentation and what have you. :-)

Neato!
Whenever I think of Hubble I think of this amazing picture I saw from it once in high school, in astronomy class. It was a picture of a black piece of sky the size "of a dime viewed from 75 feet," and it was just hundreds of galaxies. The scope and scale of thing just blew my mind and I couldn't think about anything else for the rest of the day. The new images from the telescope really bring back some that that wonder.
Great video! Thank you for posting it!

I don't what you guys might think, but to say the least nasa hides a lot... I have this beautiful evolutionary vision of human being like sagan, but I despite the behavior of the elite...
HUBBLE telescope should be renamed to HUMBLE.
This should be our aproach to the mystery, not in a materialistic dumbass caos evolucionary belief system we live in...
everybody has it's own time to realize, I'm just saying this 'out loud' cos I believe time and history is changing... right now..

The telescope is named after astronomer Edwin Hubble, who discoverd through redshift that the velocity at which various galaxies are receding from the Earth is proportional to their distance from us. This has become known as Hubble´s law and it proves that the universe is expanding. It´s not just some name they made up. You are an uneducated conspiracy theoriest with a astronomy and biology education of a 4th grader.

I can assure you I'm far more well educated in biology, genetics and astronomy than you. And just because of that I am able to make a statement like that. The dumbass here is you... calling ur self a "secular humanist" with no respect what so ever to other person's thoughts. I'm pretty aware of the telescope name's history, thank you.
I as I see what you don't (yet) see, I would rather call it Humbble, and I believe hubble would love that too.
;-)
Peace Out man... take it easy...

Thats why you belive in magic rather then in evidence right? You can not even define evolution but you say you know anything about biology or genetics? Thats ridiculous.
As a secular humanist i dont have to respect arrogant, anti-scientific and most of all ridiculous statements by people who never read a single textbook in their life. In fact I see it as my duty to expose them. You claim to know the history of the telescope but you want to change the name into something completely meaningless?

I always get an uneasy feeling when I see things like this because I know that I will never truly be able to grasp the size an distances of the objects like I can so easily do with everyday objects. In fact, it's hard to picture scales with anything bigger than a small mountain.

Hubble better than ever, and still no sighting of god? Jesus who in a perverted way also is god should be within a 2000 light year radius.

The zooms are just tremendously illuminating. With them one can see the scale of the final pictures; they aren't just pretty pictures, they become part of an integrated whole. The context added is just great. I want to see more of that.

Beautiful video, FFree. We are truly fortunate to live in an era where we can all physically see for the first time how the universe is made.

With all those satellites we send up there and all those stars.... I just don't understand why they don't crash into each other!?

UHH wow
Countless sattelites and space junk and such, that is a legitimate concern, but STARS? REALLY?

All they'd have to do is build a Space Elevator out of carbon nanotubes. This idea has already been suggested, and they're working on a way as we speak. Soon, regular trips to earth's orbit wont cost billions and waste tons of resources :-)

Wouldn't it be a problem to have essentially a pipe sticking out of our planet with all the satellites and debris orbiting earth?
iSOBigD 2 years ago
Yeah, that's true. We might have to clean up a bit out there, or something. Who knows how we'll get that done? But I still think the idea of a space elevator is awesome. We could make daily trips to outer space, and that would greatly further technologies for space exploration, experimentation and what have you. :-)
