Happy birthday 2 you, hubble.. hope you will have a good time for your bday. =)

my name is Coretta. i'm deaf.
Wow! I find the picture of the Nebula breath taking. Are the colors real or are they superimposed to destinguish the forms. Is there a chance to see and photograph the pictures as they come in and are displayed?
What a wonderous age we live in. Happy birthday to Hubble and to the staff/technicians that brought it about.
