The newly upgraded Hubble Space Telescope now has eyes so sharp it can resolve not only extragalactic planets, but individual aliens mowing their lawns as long as they’re wearing light colored clothing. Ha ha. Joking. Actually the picture shows a nighttime explosion at a Christmas tree light factory. Ha ha. Joking. Actually it’s newly discovered photoluminescent plankton. Ha ha. Okay, I’ll stop now.
The Hubble is on a tear—it’s making sharper, more-detailed pictures than the old Hubble could ever produce. To see a much larger picture of the center of galactic cluster Omega Centauri, go here. Thanks to Astronomy Picture of the Day.
