The coming end of Hubble

The last service mission for the the Hubble Space Telescope has been cancelled, so it looks like its lifetime will be over in just a few years, before there will even be the next generation of space telescope up there. Whatever reasons – money, security,… – cause the final decision, it’s definately a big loss for science.

XBONG

Who would have thought XBONG stands for X-ray bright optically normal galaxy… 😉

Merry Christmas…

Since I’m leaving over Christmas, not that it would make a difference for the Blog ;-), I wanna wish everyone a Merry Christmas and some nice holidays…

Finally changed the front page template

Finally got rid of the ESA news on the front page, which haven’t gotten any update for a long time, and changed the template, so that the last 5 entries are shown and not those of the last n days. That was just looking too empty 😉

Ooops…

Now I haven’t been on my own blog for so long, that I didn’t even notice my Apache was misconfigured after updating and moving the directory… I should really invest a little bit more time into this again…
