I’m happy to hear that Hubble is back to doing science instead of just being a really expensive orbital paperweight. Still no sign of little green men though.
Whatever people say about what we spend on ‘Space’; it’s worth it. Understanding space is understanding the physics of reality. It’s a bonus that Hubble makes it so pretty.
