Get out your heavenly wish list: Astronomers working with the Hubble Space Telescope are soliciting suggestions for where to point the orbiting observatory this summer.
Imagine having the Hubble Space Telescope at your command, so you could point its keen eye at any star or galaxy that strikes your fancy. A group of Hubble astronomers is offering to make that heavenly dream come true.
The team is asking the public where to point the observatory this summer. From March 21 to June 6, you can make a pitch at the Web site http://heritage.stsci.edu/. The Hubble team will consider the number of votes for each object, scientific merit, and potential for a spectacular image.
