'The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has discovered an extrasolar planet, for the first time using direct visible-light imaging. The strange world is far-flung from its parent star, is surrounded by a colossal belt of gas and dust, and may even have rings more impressive than Saturn's.'

Wow. That's awesome.

We need to hurry the hell up and harness antimatter to propel us at beyond light speeds so we can go visit these places!!!

Get on it, scientists!

[Morbo] Antimatter does not work that way!

Maybe if we'd quit spending billions on political campaigns and direct that money, time and effort toward scientific research, we could be building space ships and exploring the galaxy and cure every disease known to us.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

How about showing us the real pictures from Hubble instead of gratuitous computer graphics?

^because your head would explode if you saw the real photos. It's for your own safety.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Very neat. These Hubblecasts are getting better.

Aah good old fomalhault, brings back memories when I was younger and hauled fruits from there to all over the galaxy with The Transporter.

I wonder if they have jesus there?
