Posted by timothy on from the dick-clark-is-on-hand dept.

DarkKnightRadick writes "Here you can find what Space.com considers the Top 10 Space Science images of the past year." As the accompanying article points out, "Hubble, refurbished during 2002, continues to provide benchmark astrophotography. However, other telescopes, in space and on the ground, see things that Hubble cannot." DarkKnightRadick continues: "The site is filled with artists theoretical renderings and actual photographs from both ground and space based telescopes."

    and no, I don't mean slashdot. A bunch of these 'images' are RENDERED. As in they're not real, but "artists conceptions". Dude, a half hour with Bryce or a trip to the video store can get you images like that.

    The other thing, is who edits their copy? I quote:

    There was nothing unusually stunning about the first photos taken with the new, more powerful camera installed on the Hubble Space Telescope. Except for one thing: They came.
    I have no idea what they're trying to say with that paragraph.
