Speaking of the Hubble, a new Photoshop plugin was released that allows
users to make their own photos from the Hubble data . . . .

One of
the most interesting things I learned there was that the Hubble
telescope's
camera is only 16 megapixels. IMO, if 16 is good enough for NASA,
then 6 is
enough for me :-). They will be updating both the software and camera
in
2007, but nothing definite about the new camera yet. Also, future
Hubble
updates will be done remotely from Goddard instead of sending
astronauts to
do the work.
