Newly Fixed Hubble Telescope Shows Cosmic Beauty
A refurbished U.S. space telescope is showing Earth the sharpest photos yet of cosmic beauty, complete with heavenly glows.
WASHINGTON (AP) - NASA on Wednesday unveiled the first deep space photos taken by the Hubble telescope since its billion dollar repair mission earlier 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 of light that give them halos that to some people can appear heavenly. Earlier this summer, Hubble took pictures of Jupiter when an asteroid or comet hit it.

I think that those two planets have just lost their atmostphere, to to flying away from thier regular graivitaional force, or foundation. Had the planets been on fire, and the gases behind them also on fire, they would be comets.
