Hubble Space Photos

If you looking for some creative background for your desktop computer, why not a space photo from Hubble Space Telescope?
There are lots of creative images to choose from. They are inspiring to wonder just what is out there.
Website Description
Named in honor of the trailblazing astronomer Edwin Hubble, the Hubble Space Telescope is a large, space-based observatory, which has revolutionized astronomy since its launch and deployment by the space shuttle Discovery in 1990. Far above rain clouds, light pollution, and atmospheric distortions, Hubble has a crystal-clear view of the universe. Scientists have used Hubble to observe some of the most distant stars and galaxies are yet seen, as well as the planets in our solar system.
Hubble has made more than 1.5 million observations over the course of its lifetime. Over 19,000 peer-reviewed scientific papers have been published on its discoveries, and every current astronomy textbook includes contributions from the observatory. The telescope has tracked interstellar objects as they soared through our solar system, watched a comet collide with Jupiter, and discovered moons around Pluto.

Bullet Point to Blog Section
This was generated by Copy.ai:
I originally carried the idea of a social news platform around in my head for a long time. It was not until I saw the result of another programmer's experiment with Reddit that I realized it could work. I took the basic concepts of his Reddit clone and started developing my own ideas.
I knew about Reddit for quite some time but never really understood what it is all about. After using it for a while I was hooked, and couldn't help but think that I could do something similar, but better.
The idea behind cryan.com is to create a simple, fast, and easy-to-use social news platform where everyone can submit links to interesting Internet tools and websites they have discovered during their surfing sessions.
Cryan.com tries to provide an intuitive interface so that anyone can quickly post links to interesting websites that would otherwise be lost in the flood of information on the Internet.
This site is a collection of internet tools. Some are fun and can be used to kill time, some are very useful, some are only useful when you have the right programming knowledge, and some others are just cool.
