    Since I happen to work at the Space Telescope Science Institute (the people who play with the Hubble) ...

    I've had these pictures on my desktop for over a week. Ha.
    Actually, you can too, if you head on over to NASA and sign up for their email notification thingy; it'll let you know when there's a new story posted. It's seriously handy, and the stories are always meaty.
    Actually, I'm a vegetarian so I suppose I should say they're always full of protein and iron.
