This spring, the Hubble outreach office started a Hubble Treasure Hunt
The challenge was to browse through the Hubble raw data archives, and look for undiscovered images, ones that had not been published and were interesting or beautiful.
There are a lot of Hubble images.
The finalists for the contest have now been announced, in two different categories: one for unprocessed images; the other for processed images.
The decision on the winners, will be done by public vote, and the selection of finalist images is up on the web and open for voting:
unprocessed images are here
processed images are here
there are beauts in there, go vote!

Many of the Hubble Space Telescope images have never been looked at.

This is a cool, fun thing, and it is easy enough for a theorist to do.
