What Will The New And Improved Hubble Discover Next?

The newly-repaired Hubble has begun sending back some pretty extraordinary pictures. But what if it sends back some more…surprising photos? For this week’s Photoshop Contest, I want you to create just that.

Send your best entries to me at contests@gizmodo.com with Hubble Surprises in the subject line. Save your files as JPGs or GIFs, and use a FirstnameLastname.jpg naming convention using whatever name you want to be credited with. Send your work to me by next Tuesday morning, and I’ll pick three top winners and show off the rest of the best in our Gallery of Champions. Get to it!

    Why can't we make 2 or 3 or 100 more Hubbles?

    @aec007: I'm sorry, but astronomers renamed Uranus to end that stupid joke once and for all. It's now called Urectum.

  • Kayonesoft

    It kind of looks like two DBZ or Final Fantasy characters all powered up and clashing against each other in an epic struggle over 12 episodes or 3 discs.

    I want a closer examination of the GitEmSteveDave Depp Field, which I discovered, and as such, named after myself. And I don't want them taking credit for what I spent countless minutes looking for. And none of that number galaxy thing either. Remember NASA, GitEmSteveDave, that's one word, four capital letters and four syllables. Don't think you can get around it by calling it the plain SteveDave Depp Field ot GitEmSteve Depp Field. I'll be watching!

    @gadam07: What about three cats on a keyboard under a moon?

    After the LJ thread, you're asking for a lot of trouble here.

    @mathlabs: I was going to suggest that it was a hyperbola, but this is beyond hyperbole.

    @Lupison: The cost to build and maintain the Hubble is greater than the cost of ALL the telescopes on Earth

    Yes and how much do 20 new jet planes that you can't fly in a thunderstorm cost and how have they helped us understand the universe? Also the amount we've learned from maintaining the first Hubble will make the next one much easier to maintain. Not to mention the next one could be internationally funded

    double post, please delete me.

  • Twanzio

    @Lupison: Because the first one has cost between $2,000,000,000 and $6,000,000,000 to build and maintain.

    Unless, ya know, you've got those kind of funds just lying around somewhere, I don't think we'll see another Hubble very soon.

    @mathlabs: i could make so many good jokes out of this.

    "i see uranus"
    "in the middle of it all is a black hole"
    etc etc
