Hubble is amazing... It'll be a shame to lose, I hope it is replaced with something substantially better.

Actually, there is a mission slated for September 2008 to replace/add a few components on the Hubble.

So, I'd expect it to be active until at least 2010.

But, you aught to keep your eye on this project:

Awesome. Thanks for the link. I am glad to know they are fixing the old girl up. Someone told me they are just going to let her go.

Haha, I like the originality of that telescope's name!

I heard that the follow-up telescope after that one is named, "The Rediculously Large Telescope."

And, it can even see objects traveling at ludicrous speed away from us!



Here is an idea what the OWL would likely be capable of:

The first picture, in my original post, is from the hubble being pointed towards the darkest part of our sky where we thought nothing existed. The possibilities are actually infinite.

I can't wait for the OWL to go operational! Thanks for posting that B_D!
