Merry Christmas, with a little intergalactic reminder of the Logos
Hubble Space Telescope Advent Calendar 2008 – The Big Picture – Boston.com
As we head into the traditional western Holiday Season, I’d like to present this Hubble Space Telescope imagery Advent Calendar. Every day, for the next 25 days, a new photo will be revealed here from the amazing Hubble Space Telescope. As I take this chance to share these images of our amazing Universe with you, I wish for a Happy Holiday to all those who will celebrate, and for Peace on Earth to everyone.
Shoot, I’ll just go whole hog and say, Merry Christmas!
