A community portal about Hubble Space Telescope with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: The Hubble Space Telescope is a telescope in orbit around the Earth, named after astronomer Edwin Hubble for his discovery of galaxies outside the Milky Way and his creation of Hubble's Law, which calculates the rate at which the universe is expanding. Its position outside the Earth's atmosphere allows it to take sharp optical images of very faint objects, and since its launch in 1990, it has become one of the most important instruments in the history of astronomy. It has been responsible for many ground-breaking observations and has helped astronomers achieve a better understanding of many fundamental problems in astrophysics. Hubble's Ultra Deep Field is the deepest astronomical optical image ever taken.
Hanny van Arkel just wanted to know what the blue blob was in the picture, but the question she asked so stumped astronomers that NASA awarded them time on the Hubble Space Telescope to answer it.
'What's the blue stuff below,' van Arkel asked in an online forum back in the fall. 'Anyone...
