Awesome Sam.  It just goes to show the pace at which technology keeps improving!  Here's to many more images from WFC3.

indeed, fantastic initial results - well worth the refit! To be honest the way technology is developing they could easily keep refitting it and each time will maintain being the best telescope man has... well apart from those of the radio variety of course! (just found out I've been given time on the GMRT, India again.. now to find the funding to get there...)

Gosh you have to get back to India again sam.  That's your favourite telescope!  You may have to sell Lizzie!     The lovely Haley is working in a country not far from you.  Not sure which state though.

Ha Ha!  You obviously didn't read the captions Sam.  Under the omega Centauri image it says But as they near the end of their lives, they balloon into red giants, and later still, into hot, blue stars.   Who knew?

Never!
