Abstract
The adage “A picture is worth a thousand words,” while used to the point of being trite, conveys a deep truth. Humans remain a highly visually driven species, using images to convey information in all areas of endeavour, ranging from the arts and humanities to hard science. As an added benefit, much as in the photography of natural scenes, such as mountain ranges or alpine lakes, scientific images can convey great and profound beauty. Thus, images from the Hubble Space Telescope inspire awe and admiration as well as convey scientific truths about the origin and evolution of the universe.
