Hubble's Greatest Hits!

Well, this is truly awe-inspiring...This site has an amazing collection of pics from the Hubble telescope, with a description of what each is about. From the description of the pic at right;

Appearing like a winged fairy-tale creature poised on a pedestal, this object is actually a billowing tower of cold gas and dust rising from a stellar nursery called the Eagle Nebula. The soaring tower is 9.5 light-years or about 90 trillion kilometres high, about twice the distance from our Sun to the next nearest star.
