Hubble's Deepest Pictures Yet

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the that's-a-helluva-commute dept.

MrBook2 writes "NASA have just released the Ultra Deep Field (UDF). This image took 800 exposures and clocked in at 11.3 days (!) of exposure time. This image is deeper than the Hubble Deep Field which has yielded a vast amount of knowledge. So, why exactly was it that NASA wanted to scrap the Hubble?"

    ...which pretty much explains his "science" and "education" policies. Educated people and scientists ask questions; questions are the bane of fundamentalist religion.

    The Hubble Space Telescope is a tool for showing the flaws in fundamentalist dogma -- and understandign what Hubble does requires thinking, an act that makes Mr. Bush's head hurt, I suspect.

    If Bush and his handlers have their way, the U.S. will become a theocracy like Iran.
