The Crab Nebula is one of the most intricately structured and dynamic objects ever observed. The new Hubble image of the Crab was assembled from 24 individual exposures taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WPFC2) and is the highest resolution image of the entire Crab Nebula ever made.

Earth's second Moon is called Cruithne. It was discovered in 1986 and it takes a convoluted horseshoe path around our planet as it is tossed about by the Earth's and the Moon's gravity.

Lots of breathtaking Hubble images. Most also in original size available (huuuuge!).

This beauty for example also as 175 MB .tif...

Exactly. No to great but it resembles it enough.

I always wondered how they precisely point the Hubble to a distant object. I know they use a star tracker device, used both by the shuttle and basically any other satellite, that requires precise orienteering and pointing. But these Hubble images are SO far away, combined by the orbital motion and speed of Hubble itself, it makes for some crazy timing mathematics.

That's why they get paid the big bucks. Them fuckers know how to do that scientific stuffs.

Going by the brightness of the streetlights I'd say it was long exposure. They're glowing.
