Alan,

My co-author and I wrote one of the first books about Hubble Science, called (oddly enough) "Hubble Vision" --you can do a search on those terms and find references to it.

(http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=hubble+vision&x=0&y=0)

Our book first came out when the science HST was doing was still rather unknown; our book went to a couple of printings and we updated it in 1998. It's still available.

I also have done a series of fulldome video shows about Hubble science with the same name.

Hubble was part of my graduate school experience and I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for this magnificent, amazing telescope.

cheers,

I love the Hubble pictures! Was wondering if it would be possible to take time lapse shots of a partiuclar active area in the sky, say over 5-10 years and combine them in sequence to show how the area changes?

Right then. Good question,..

We have Hubble, and Hubble looks as far as we are able… Into history as we are able... Have we managed yet to see our own selves, historically?

I mean, If Hubble can see a long ways back, have we tried to point it back the other way,.. and see our own selves some millennia ago, yet?

Wouldn’t we have been one of the first to have tried…
