Astronomers are celebrating the release of remarkable new images from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).
They prove the mission carried out by astronauts in May to service the observatory was an outstanding success.
The latest pictures include trademark Hubble visions - from colliding galaxies to dying stars.
Nasa says the orbiting telescope, regarded as one of the most important scientific tools ever built, should keep working until at least 2014.
The Atlantis shuttle mission in May was the fifth and final Hubble makeover.
