As part of the International Year of Astronomy, the celebration of the 400th anniversary of Galileo’s telescopic observations, you get to decide where to point the Hubble next.

“Hubble’s Next Discovery – You Decide allows people across the world to vote online and select the next object modern astronomy’s most famous telescope will view. Six objects, which the Hubble has never before viewed, are available for voting.”

    I voted for 5172, the spiral galaxy featured in the photo. Come on! It looks so Milky and Wayish. Gotta find that planet with life.

    I say we just spin the Hubble around and where it stops, is where we look… bonus if it ends up loooking directly at Earth and taking photos of Natalie Portman.

    Dang, I was hoping Cydonia was one of the choices. Not surprised that it was not, however.
