Orgasmic pictures.
Eggnebula and boomerangnebula are beautiful, but scary. I don’t like to think about the universe and the size of it. Scares me.
Amazing, hard to believe these are real photos.
It’s great to see the science fiction we create, can actually be found out there.
Why don’t you mention that these pictures are enhanced and the colors are dubbed in representing different elements or compounds, or is the truth too boring for publication.
that’s Beautiful!!!
simply breathtaking!

Very nice collection! Long live Hubble! If the last set of components lasted this long, hopefully many more wonderful images of the universe will come back in the next ten years. Then, put that in the Smithsonian!
I’m with CYBERWOLF08, is there a way to download all of the renders in one lump? I am also interested in having them all to cycle as a wallpaper.
These are so cool, it’s hard to wrap my mind around the fact that stuff like that is out there, actually happening, y’know what I mean?
Imagine those dust pictures, 1 dot is a universe. HOW COOL IS THAT!!!
Oh , My God ! WHO SAYS YOU ARE NOT THERE !
This is only a tiny fraction of your Majesty revealed to the mankind !
Tamaso Maa Jyothirgamayaa !
Pure Excitement!
existencia de Deus
Makes you wonder… how small are we really? what if all we know, is nothing but a piece of dust somewhere..
this is beautiful and amazing the universe is huge. there is soo much out there.
Aren’t the colors wonderful? Too bad they’re fake: http://shroudedindoubt.typepad.com/bodyparts/2009/01/fake-colors-in-hubble-photos-of-outer-space.html
@Aleks: Are you saying that the pictures which would be near indiscernible from random space debris are *gasp* altered in order to make them stand out? *waits for shocked gasps to end*
You need to ask yourself why the colors are added. Is NASA selling these pictures on the interstellar black market for funding or are you just a dolt?
Amazing and wonderful.
@RaghavaRao.A
Actually, he’s no dolt. Insults are unbecoming. He merely stated fact. The colors are indeed added to all the photos taken by NASA with photshop or other photo enhancing software. Not knowing the reality of the situation and making an assumption is also unbecoming.
Sorry, I meant Friktion
Это охуенно!
@Meilken
If I said the pictures are enhanced to make them more perceivable, I would be stating a fact. If I said “colors are wonderful, too bad they’re fake” I’m being a dolt. It is obvious information which doesn’t need to be said. You might as well mention that the colors are more enhanced by your computer than an etch-a-sketch.
Ultimately, trying to rain on people’s parade by saying something isn’t real when it’s already obvious is what I disagree with. Sorry if that offends you, but if it does, why do you care what I think anyway?
stop bitching you stupid pricks
the colour is added so that we can ‘see’ the identities being pictured… if it were a collection of images in their raw, we would not see anything… our eyes only perceive a mere fraction of true reality.
all you people arguing is testament to how small we REALLY ARE!!
dicks!

The truth could never be as boring as you, Tsad. The colour in ALL photographic images is an approximation, and even if these pictures were in black and white (which I’ve actually tried) they would still be spectacular.
Lo más hermosos es pensar q nuestras celulas son como esas imagenes, somos tan grandes como el mismo universo, micro-macrocosmos!
If they are or not, if they Photoshop or not… is there god, really, just be a kid again and enjoy!
Love, peace and wellbeing!
Epic Images? Extraordinary, perhaps. Not “epic”.
adjective
Definition:
1. of epic poetry: celebrating the adventures and achievements of a legendary or traditional hero, in elevated language
Milton’s “Paradise Lost” is an epic poem.
2. in style of epic poetry: having some of the characteristics of an epic
an epic story of true love and adventure
3. very large or heroic: impressive by virtue of greatness of size, scope, or heroism
a scandal of epic proportions
[Late 16th century. Via Latin< Greek epikos< epos "word, song," from ep-, stem of eipein "to say"]
Love it… simply loved it. Thanks for sharing!
Wouldn’t it be nice if the pics had captions so we knew what we were looking at?
My god! When will the word “epic” stop being used? Jesus!! I’m so tired of hearing this word used to describe everything. Be original.
Technically epic is appropriate. As Davy pointed out the definition of epic is, “impressive by virtue of size”. Few things are larger than a galaxy. The images may not be epic, but their contents sure are.
Superb pics……
Enough said. Are we all not guilty of enhancing photographs to bring out the best in them? Is there any difference between enhancing what we know is there to make it more enjoyable and enhancing what we would not otherwise see to make it more enjoyable? I think not. Loved these photos!
these pics would be so much cooler if they were real
(color-wise).
Awesome photos, are the colors original or photoshopped?
re: akaname guitar sadist
Thanks you for taking the words right out of my mouth. Everyone should forget about the technicalogically enhanced way we view the world, from our mobile phones to our big screen tv’s and look at what’s WAY out there! If you want to see the wonders that Hubble has been sending us in REAL color, find a place where the lights of the cities we live near are not blocking your view, look up at the sky and you’ll see that even without Photoshop, PC or Mac, we can glimps the “heavens” in true color. Blah blah blah… Just look up and love the universe!
I love the photos. They are magnificent and amazing. I’d love a way to view them as a slideshow on your website, but I’m not seeing a way to do that.
fantastic.imagine there might be life in those galaxies other humans maybe with different body style but have brain like us may be they try to find life on other planets like us may be they think what we think maybe they are compeletly look like us the same planet the same city style same languages same cultures ……
(excuse me if i had grammer problem because my first language is not English)
there must be God !!
This is really great. I haven’t seen such clear pictures of the galaxy. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t understand why adding color for ease of distinguishing details is such a problem for some people. The medical community is using NASA’s process to enhance mammograms to better visual cancer cells. Please don’t tell me that that because of this that boobies aren’t real. That would really ruin things for me.

For all of those wanting captions, they’re in the mouseover text.
Very good written information. It will be useful to anyone who usess it, including me. Keep up the good work – looking forward to more posts.
good.
thanks.
