Hubble Pictures

While we were in Idaho for our last visit, we went to the visitor's center at the Idaho Falls Temple to see some pictures taken from the Hubble telescope. I believe they launched the telescope in 1990, so 20 years ag0 and have gotten some amazing pictures and discoveries from it. The idea of taking pictures from space is to eliminate interference from the earth's atmosphere. I had the kids stand by their favorite picture, I should have labeled what they were a picture of. They were just fun to look at, you could actually see a lot of galaxies. (Note: I love Max just as much as my other children I just didn't get a pic. of him in front of a picture. Plus I was getting nervous because I wasn't sure I was suppose to be taking photos.)



Afterwards we got a quick family picture in front of the beautiful temple.
