The Hubble Space Telescope, named after astronomer Edwin Hubble and launched into space in 1990, has since taken almost 200,000 pictures of the Universe which have been released to the public. Read more about Hubble Space telescope (HST) on Wikipedia here. Read on for a gallery of 100 epic images, compiled from NASA, The Hubble Heritage Project, Space Telescope Science Institute, HubbleSite.org and NASA APOD.
Switching my wallpaper everyday for a hundred days. Awesome stuff.
awesome, absolutely awesome picture. Incredible to imagine that these things are in the space around us.
Really cool pics, but… couldn’t you add the objects’ names?
Simply awesome collection.
the title picture is awesome….but i’m interested to know what I’m looking at. Is there a link to the original image so I can get some info on the subject..?

@Timetraveller: You can find the name of the photo in the URL, e.g.

“Pillars of Creation”.
We’ll have a more “usable” system set up soon :)
It’s out of this world — thanks for sharing!!
Does anyone have a download link for the entire collection, because i want to add it to my Win7 background collection
We live in such a gorgeous universe!
wOW!
Orgasmic pictures.
Eggnebula and boomerangnebula are beautiful, but scary. I don’t like to think about the universe and the size of it. Scares me.
Amazing, hard to believe these are real photos.
It’s great to see the science fiction we create, can actually be found out there.
Why don’t you mention that these pictures are enhanced and the colors are dubbed in representing different elements or compounds, or is the truth too boring for publication.
that’s Beautiful!!!
simply breathtaking!

Very nice collection! Long live Hubble! If the last set of components lasted this long, hopefully many more wonderful images of the universe will come back in the next ten years. Then, put that in the Smithsonian!
