...attended his inaugurations in Texas. They were nice affairs at the Capitol. They seemed grand at the time, but of course the presidential inauguration dwarfed the Texas ones. It wasn't just the crowds and all the hoopla and the metal detectors and the legions of tense security forces. It was the complexity of all the loci of power represented on the podium.

In honor of that out-of-this-world event, the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md., has--what else?--launched a new website called HubbleSite hubble.stsci.edu) where surfers can study the telescope's history, browse Hubble trivia (it has circled Earth 58,400 times), learn more about the cosmos and, of course, view some of the spectacular images the telescope has collected. Quasars and pulsars and supernovas...
