3. Next lets learn a bit about the colors of the Hubble images. Visit this link and read through the pages. You will need to click on 'next' at the bottom of the page to advance.

4. We have a star that is only about 4 light years from Earth. Read what we have learned about it and see the Hubble's image of it.

5. What about the wacky shapes of some images? Read about how the images are constructed. Again you will need to click on 'next' at the bottom of the page to advance.

6. See what the Hubble looks like.

7. Is anyone(or small group) interested in building a model of the Hubble that could hang in my classroom which would be seen by hundreds of students and parents for years to come???? Click here for details. If interested you could make the small one depicted in the link or scale it up to a nice, robust size!!!!!!!
