A refurbished U.S. space telescope is showing Earth the sharpest photos yet of cosmic beauty, complete with heavenly glows. NASA on Wednesday (Sep. 9) unveiled the first deep space photos taken by the Hubble telescope since its billion dollar repair mission earlier this year. That work included installing two new cameras, other science instruments and replacing broken parts. The images of galaxies and nebulas are sharper than previous photos taken of the same places by Hubble before the upgrade. Some of the colorful images have brilliant glows of light that give them halos that to some people can appear heavenly. Here is a look at some of the most recent images from Hubble and some of the images taken earlier by the telescope.

    • Nasa is the biggest bunch of idiots. Took them decades to get a fricking telescope working. Funny that the "lesson" from space we got from Krista McAullife was not to go there for stupid reasons. (such as teaching a lesson from space)
      We got the lesson you goody two shoe dead idiot.
