A Wow a Day With The Hubble Advent Calendar

I’m not sure if The Big Picture will be doing a similar calendar tomorrow, but as we rapidly approach December, what could be better than reusing their amazing set of images from last year.

There are 25 jaw-dropping photographs from the Hubble Space Telescope. Put a different one up on your IWB every day to provide a little Wow factor as the students come into the room.

I never tire of staring at some of these images, particularly the ultra deep field picture (image 25). They are just astounding.

UPDATE – Yes, they are doing a 2009 calendar. The images are here.
