Description
Since the first servicing mission to Hubble Space Telescope (HST), astronomy has entered a new golden age. This paper will serve to give a small set of examples of the new imagery and the unexpected discoveries that have been made using the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) built by NASA’s Jet propulsion Laboratory. In addition, using these examples, the extrapolation to “what’s ahead” will be discussed.
