NASA TV are providing updates on the recently launched final Hubble Servicing Mission via clips at their YouTube channel. Meanwhile European astronomers can breathe again. For now. As mentioned previously here, the 1.9bn-euro space observatories Herschel and Planck have been successfully launched on an Ariane 5 rocket – detailed BBC report here. And more from ESA here. Oh, and Planck’s twittering.. Added new video on the Planck Observatory. Credit ESA TV 2009.

Here’s an informative ESA TV video from last year

    UMH ,

    Did you know that Hershcel discovered UR ANUS ?

    Not that one – the other one . You know the one that Archbishop Usher claimed God created in 4004 BC on Oct 23rd at 9.00 a.m ?

    What do you think?
