From time to time Liberate the Mind will publish a photo collage of a specific country, describing its people and the way of living. Instead of showing photographs of a country, this time we have the honour of presenting the latest photographs taken by the famous Hubble Telescope.
“For the past three months, scientists and engineers at the Space Telescope Science Institute and Goddard have been focusing, testing, and calibrating the instruments. Hubble is one of the most complex space telescopes ever launched, and the Hubble servicing mission astronauts performed major surgery on the 19-year-old observatory’s multiple systems. This orbital verification phase was interrupted briefly July 19 to observe Jupiter in the aftermath of a collision with a suspected comet.”
The result is showed below. Click on the photo’s for an explanation.
