Well, it's been up there twenty years, now. And in all that time, the Hubble Telescope has been doing some incredible things. There's that Deep Field view for starters, wonderful work there. Some cracking pics of the Eagle Nebula which stayed on my desktop for a good two years. And then quite recently this rather stunning image of the Butterfly Nebula.
Breathtaking.
I know that these aren't true images, I know they've been enhanced and artificially coloured but I don't care, it's still a marvellous piece of human engineering. One can only imagine how good the James Webb telescope is going to be!
