What the Hubble has brought to us is incredible. I remember when we first launched it we were afraid it was broken… sine then it has brought to us a wealth of information about our universe and our neighbors in the universe. That star is indeed hogging the limelight, but that is what beauty does and that star is nothing if not beautiful.
