Another picture!

Wow, they're just releasing pictures left and right. This one is in celebration of my 14th birthday coming up this weekend (Saturday or Sunday, depending on whether you want to count from my launch or my deployment). Anyway, you probably want to see the picture instead of hear me ramble on about getting older.

Looky here!If you're curious what

Happy birthday!

Ooo pretty!

How lovely and infinite. As if the tray was tipped at a jeweler's workdesk... but nothing is so lovely as this. I can't begin to grasp the scale.

Fabulous.

Happy Birthday Hubble!

And that picture serves to remind us ground-pounders that the Universe is "not only stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine"... and also more heart-stoppingly beautiful than we can imagine. (Those septuply-cursed bureaucrats who want to curtail your mission wouldn't recognize beauty if it bit them on the behind.)

So pretty... I wanted to go back for a second look but it wouldn't load! :( I wanted to make it my desktop wallpaper.
