The just repaired and updated US space telescope unveils its handiwork: Photos of beauty, life and death :
A refurbished Hubble Space Telescope is showing Earth the sharpest photos yet of cosmic beauty, complete with heavenly glows. NASA, on Wednesday unveiled the first deep space photos taken by Hubble since its billion dollar repair mission earlir 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 that give them halos. Earlier this summer, Hubble took pictures of Jupiter when an asteroid or comet hit it.

With exploration of the universe comes knowledge. Are we ready for this huge influx of knowledge? Are we ready for whatever they discover out there? As they said on the 'X Files',"The truth is out there."
