Picturing the Birth of a Planet

techmaven writes with a different angle on the coming Hubble upgrade: "The Hubble Space Telescope is scheduled to get a new camera when a servicing mission launches on February 28th, and astronomers say it will provide the best look yet at how planets are formed. Scientists also expect to have a much better chance of finding new things in outer space."
