How are you? Good? That’s great :)

No? Why? Maybe you’re tired of some­thing, or maybe weather isn’t good, or some­thing is goind wrong? Well, just smile and hope for the best :)

Today I’m going to write a lit­tle bit about awe­some web­page, not because of design, but because of resources…That’s www.hubblesite.org. Exactly, offi­cial web­page of Hub­ble tele­scope, that is work­ing in the space at the moment tak­ing awe­some shots of stars, plan­ets and var­i­ous space bod­ies. I first met that web­page about 3 months ago. First thing I thought is “Damn…Why I hadn’t been here before?” Well, the answer is: “I didn’t know any­thing about Hub­ble”. Some­body don’t know what is XHTML, some­body doesn’t know where is Aus­tralia. Well, I didn’t know that there is some Hub­ble in Space, that can actu­ally take a close “almost macro” shot of my ear while I will be walk­ing across the street. So, I began brows­ing that web­page, read­ing arti­cles and look­ing at some pho­tos made by Hub­ble. Some of them were in good res­o­lu­tion, some of them in low qual­ity, but still they were inster­est­ing for me.

Acci­den­telly, I clicked on “Highest-quality down­load options” link. I was amazed by the res­o­lu­tion of images they were giv­ing on a free terms of usage. This pic­ture of “Iri­des­cent Glory of Nearby Helix Neb­ula” is given in…TIF, 16000x16000px…And I think such res­o­lu­tion gives a green light to almost every type of design, is it a web or a graphic, and what was more amaz­ing — you can use that pic­tures in com­merce also. Of course you can’t just sell them, but you can use them in your com­mer­cial projects — web­sites you’re sell­ing, posters and so on…

So, I think this web­site has to be in favourites any­way :)

Feel free to go and browse it…
