    Best Art in the Universe? Hubble Space Telescope's Amazing Pics From 2010
    "You are dealing with the most incredible pictures of the universe that have ever been collected, and you do treat these images with reverence," Ray Villard, a spokesman for the Space Telescope Science Institute, told AOL News. "These pictures speak of death and creation, stars blowing up and stars being born -- they become almost spiritual. And they become very evocative to people."

    So it's no surprise that the researchers responsible for taking the photos approach them with a scientific mind and an artistic eye.

    "It's a combination of science and aesthetics," said Zoltan Levay, imaging team lead at the Space Telescope Science Institute.

    "On the one hand, we want to produce scientifically honest images that portray these objects in a way that doesn't mislead. On the other hand, we want to produce nice-looking, attractive, aesthetically pleasing images to draw people in so they can learn more about [the universe]," said Levay, who in his downtime is a more down-to-earth photographer.

    Though the heavens are undeniably beautiful, taking a good photo using the Hubble Space Telescope isn't easy.

    Hubble has transmitted hundreds of thousands of images back to Earth since its launch in 1990, and most haven't been keepers -- at least from an artistic perspective.

    Each image captured by the groundbreaking camera requires a great deal of work. Space is so black and the stars are so bright that researchers at the Space Telescope Science Institute must combine multiple exposures of the same subject to make sure that no one part of the image turns out looking too bright or too dark.

    Nice Carol..I just got an astronmical telescope as a pressie. Sadly as its very cloudy all the time I can see jack doodley. However these pics are great as is this free software which maps the stars from whatever location you are in. Its must have software.Thanks for the pics. Sky maps are on the list of things to do.
