Images released by Hubble telescope after repair


Hubble telescope has finally got repaired and NASA scientists have released the first images taken by the telescope after repair.


The image is of planetary nebula NGC 6302. I have defined planetary nebula in my earlier posts also. The image is simply awesome.
