<p>Thanks to new imagers installed in May 2009 during a visit from the space shuttle Atlantis, Hubble can now see farther, clearer, and across a wider spectrum than ever before. </p>
<p>NASA says it's a new beginning for the 19-year-old orbiting observatory, and will extend its life into the next decade. For astronomers, it's a chance to probe deeper into space, capture never-before-seen images from the early days of the universe, and perhaps observe the birth of planets like ours. </p>
<p>And for ordinary folks who like to look up at the night sky and dream, it's what some astronomy enthusiasts call "space porn." </p>
