4. I agree the Hubble Deep Field

image is one of the most scientifically important images Hubble has obtained so far. About 1,500 galaxies in an angular area the size of a dime at 75 ft. Some of these galaxies are just starting to form after the big bang (due to the large distances and "lookback" times involved).

6. that was great

I could only view it on my Windoze system, but that's the one with the good speakers anyway.

7. IMHO the best picture the Hubble ever made was

the Hubble Deep-Field.
It was definitely not the clearest, the most colorful or the most spectacular. But it fired the imagination. It was quite literally a snapshot back in time. I doubt life had moved out of the sea at that point.

5. Post #4 was in response to your post

I mistakenly put it in the wrong place.
