That is an unaltered Hubble photograph.No, those pictures are fake. They are wildly enhanced.

I did not alter the photo. Where did you get that idea?

Always find this amazing. Hubble Xtreme Deep field. Its an image of the sky so small that a grain of rice held arms length would obscure it. It was chosen because it appeared to be devoid of stars. A 23 day exposure shows over 15000 galaxies in this one minute window... and each galaxy with as many as a billion stars.
It is also a window into time that looks 13.5 billion years into the past. The most red shifted ones are the oldest..some of them you are seeing just 450,000,000 years after the big bang before galaxies coalesced into a discernible shape.
This is a compressed picture but click this link for the original in all its glory. LINK

For only two or three hundred million dollars, you get such pictures. Worth the price?
Not to me, just to make some astronomers ooh and aaah. Okay, the universe is vaster than we may have thought. So......?

Wasting $7 trillion fighting wars in the ME is much more productive.

(1) they didnt cost two or three hundred million dollars
(2) we learned an incredible amount from the study. They were a scientific project that was released to the public for us to ooo and ahh over. It was icing on the cake.

From its original total cost estimate of about US$400 million, the telescope cost about US$4.7 billion by the time of its launch. Hubble's cumulative costs were estimated to be about US$10 billion in 2010, twenty years after launch.
Yes indeed, and we synthesize new elements at an obscene cost and "learn" what, of practical importance? I have my name on a research paper that was funded by the sucker public.
Every research paper concludes, "More research is needed." (More money, more money, more money.)
Can you please stop trolling this thread? I've reported your post.For only two or three hundred million dollars, you get such pictures. Worth the price?

Brilliant. When the Leftists were in power, they all swore that Hussein had WMDs and something had to be done. When Bush threw the tyrant out of Kuwait, the Leftists howled, "Why didn't Bush FINISH THE JOB, huh, huh, huh."
So when Bush II DID finish the job, Leftists lied through their teeth, "HE didn't have WMDS" except they earlier all said he did.
Secondly, even IF you think military spending is a waste, for you to pretend that it's okay to waste money elsewhere on pretty pictures is offensive to artistes who want that money to produce their homoerotic porno, at public expense bien sur.
Wrong. Now try to stay on topic from now on.Brilliant. When the Leftists were in power, they all swore that Hussein had WMDs and something had to be done. When Bush threw the tyrant out of Kuwait, the Leftists howled, "Why didn't Bush FINISH THE JOB, huh, huh, huh."

Watch and learn. Then apologize.
Wimpy response as expected. Now stop trolling and stay on topic Huckleberry.You didn't apologize. Yes I know a wacko bombed the Murrah building. Another wacko sent out package bombs, killing and maiming innocent people. He was formerly a mathematics professor at UC Berkeley and an avid follower of Al Gore.
I have no need of watching any video. Rumsfeld has nothing to do with the vile lies told by Democrats against President Bush.
Nothing. Your desperation avails you nothing.
