What an amazing mission this was, and stunning photographs.
Farewell Hubble, it was the last time humans visited you.
Looks like Apple is already prepared for the ban on incandescent lights (the old fashion light bulbs).
In the Energy Saver preferences for OS X 10.5.7 they have replaced the bulb icon with and icon showing the compact fluorescent light (CFL). But why CFL and not LED, which is even more efficient and doesn't have Mercury in it?
Spot the difference in the screenshots:
Will others follow? No more "incandescent" WB setting in cameras and imaging software?
One of the most influential photographers, Eddie Adams is portrayed
in the new movie "An Unlikely Weapon, The Eddie Adams story".

The last mission to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is about to roar
into space. Space Shuttle mission STS-125 will be the final mission to
update the HST. It will also be the final mission where planned non-ISS
EVAs are undertaken. The Orion Crew Vehicle isn't suited for EVAs like
this, so we'll probably never see these repair missions again. Here are a few resources that cover the launch and preparations LIVE: Nasa's own NASATV: http://www.nasa.gov/ntv but that isn't of very good
quality video-wise. A much better alternative is http://www.spacevidcast.com/ which offers
720p quality live streaming. Great about this one is that with the
ustream.tv iPhone app you can actually watch this on your iPhone too,
and also participate in the chat! On regular TV there's Discovery Channel that will broadcast the launch
and preps live from 19.30 CEST on!

It's an old clip and song, but it always makes me smile. I love it!
