Happy 20th, Hubble!

Hubble was launched at just the right time for my budding scientific curiosity. At nine years old, I found space enthralling (doesn't everyone want to be an astronaut at that age?!) and the media attention around Hubble only encouraged me. Of course, I didn't end up working for NASA, but the fascination with math and science endured.

So bottoms up, Hubble! Testament to humanity's innovation, and provider of awesome wallpapers!
