Back in May this year NASA serviced the Hubble telescope. Amongst the new instruments installed. The WFC2 camera which has given stunning pictures over the last 15yrs, was replaced with a new camera WFC3. This new camera is more sensitive, has higher resolution & operates in a wider field of spectrum (UV to NIR) than its predecessor.

The 1st spectacular images from this camera have now been release. These can be view at;
