If you like the Hubble site, then you might enjoy visiting the Astronomy Picture of the Day site. Not only do they have some Hubble shots, but a lot of other neat pictures:

www.space.com is pretty good too.

www.spaceweather.com is another good site.

I hope Hubble is repaired soon before the gyro's all puke and it becomes space junk. NASA says it too dangerous. Foam has been falling off the big tank from the first shuttle flight. Now 25 years later it is a concern. Hubble has probably only looked at 1% of the sky. Imagine the new discoveries to come if Hubble were fixed and allowed to look at another 1% of the sky.
