Hubble Space telescope

My sister sent me ten photographs from space, taken by the Hubble telescope.

I didn't even know she was out of the country.

Of the ten she sent me, the following was selected as the best by space scientists.


This note was attached to my sister's email:

The Sombrero Galaxy - 28 million light years from Earth - was voted best picture taken by the Hubble telescope. The dimensions of the galaxy, officially called M104, are as spectacular as its appearance. It has 800 billion suns and is 50,000 light years across.

I think I'll pop off a thank-you note.

[Sis. If you can read this beam me your address].
