For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Many Hubble images have a curious stair-step shape. These images come from a scientific instrument called the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2, or WFPC2 � one of the five instruments currently flown aboard the telescope. It is WFPC2�s unique design that underlies the oddly-shaped images in Hubble�s portfolio.
You can get a new picture every day at this site. I have it bookmarked and look at it every morning.
