December Stars

Alan Taylor is the brain behind the hugely popular The Big Picture, a pho­to­graphy blog hosted on boston.com, the website of The Boston Globe. Posts on The Big Picture are usually compiled “semi-​regularly” by Taylor, each post struc­tured around a news story, or topic, or theme; but this month Taylor is doing some­thing a little dif­ferent:

As we head into the tra­di­tional western Holiday Season, I’d like to present this Hubble Space Tele­scope imagery Advent Calendar. Every day, for the next 25 days, a new photo will be revealed here from the amazing Hubble Space Tele­scope. As I take this chance to share these images of our amazing Universe with you, I wish for a Happy Holiday to all those who will cel­eb­rate, and for Peace on Earth to everyone.

I’m looking forward to seeing each new star of wonder.
