Eyes in the Sky

          Here's an exciting new addition to humans eyes to the sky! We have all been amazed by the images produced by Hubble, and now the next generation has arrived. This satellite, in coordination with ground telescopes on earth, can now take images with 10,000 times greater resolution than Hubble. Perhaps we will begin to peer upon Kepler 22b, the new planet discovered this year, with very similar Earth like characteristics.

The ever growing frontier...
