Back in May, several improvements were added to the darn-near-close-to-being-abandoned-as-junk Hubble telescope. Yesterday, those improvements, mostly vastly upgraded cameras and other equipment, were demonstrated for the first time! NASA’s announcement was made here.

That’s just the announcement of the release photos, what you want to see are some pictures!

More pics can be found here

There is also a nice video summary of the new Hubble stuff.

Go Hubble! While watching these videos why not consider getting your own paper Hubble Space telescope model?
