Coolness: in honor of its 15th anniversary, the Hubble Space Telescope team is releasing two spectacular photos of the M51 "Whirlpool" Galaxy and the Eagle Nebula.

It's still difficult to comprehend NASA's stupidity in wanting to shut down Hubble before its time. Maybe the new boss will wake them up.
