Hubble what? Meet HiRISE.

So, forget the Hubble telescope. Yeah, it was fun while it lasted, and it had its run, but now make way for HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Experiment) , the biggest baddest telescope ever to leave orbit. Thats right, this telescope is actually orbiting Mars, and because Mars is so much further away from the Sun than Earth, some of the images it gets from the other planets is as good Hubble's! Click here to see a picture of Jupiter from Mars!
