Now here’s a quick dose of awesome for you this morning, folks: apparently, the Hubble Telescope, that former laughingstock turned invaluable contribution to science forever, caught the LCROSS…bombing?  Landing?  What WOULD you call it, exactly?

Well, anyway, the Hubble caught it, and apparently it even managed to generate a pic or two.  Sadly, we don’t actually have the pic yet, which is really rather sad, but I’m told that the pic we’ve got at left is the next closest thing, and actually ought to look fairly similar to what the final pic generated from the Hubble will look like when it’s finally brought to light, assuming I didn’t graphically misunderstand.  At any rate, the gigantic space camera known as the Hubble should have plenty more pictures waiting when we finally get to see the last set before it’s decommissioned once and for all.
