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?"

    Is that most of the images get imaged processed to death. Without Kalman filtering and deconvolution algorithms they would look lame, and these algorithms can be done to images taken from Earthbound telescopes.

      While that [goatse.cx photo] is 'deep', I don't think the Hubble took it.

    Dunno. There's likely more intelligent life in the universe than the bunch of niggers, camel jockeys, spics, jews and gooks we've got here.
