"The Eye of God" photographed by the Hubble
"The announcement that the HST only has three or four more years of life has upset people both inside and outside the science community. Beckwith says he has received more than a thousand e-mails from people decrying the decision and even offering money. 'The outpouring of support has been phenomenal,' he says, 'and really very touching for all of us in the [HST] project. I think it's rare that a science facility has generated so much public good will outside of its own user base.' "
Help Steve keep Hubble alive with your emails and donations! His, and their, work is too important, and frankly beautiful, to allow it to die on the vine.
