Woah! Verrrrrry cool!

Ignore the comments section, eh?

Pretty cool for a telescope that is not long from retirement (recent upgrades were only to keep it working a little longer because it's replacement is behind schedule).

Very true, and it's replacement should be even more powerful, so imagine what kind of pictures it'll take. 8)

This video actually only gives you a taste of the magnitude of space, however. I've seen others that portray this even better. :) One was on Youtube, so maybe when I get a chance, I'll track it down and show ya. ;)

Yeah, that was pretty awesome. I've always been fascinated with space, and this is no exception! I really enjoyed the 3d Model, that was cool.

Nice find WillyP!
