The Hubble Space Telescope (HST), named after American astronomer Edwin Hubble, is the most sophisticated telescope ever orbited the earth. It has contributed more to changing our understanding of the Universe than any other scientific instrument.
We have previously created a Hubble Space Telescope Theme which was well received by our readers and it includes some of the most fascinating photos taken by the Hubble Telescope over the years. But not all of them can be accommodated in a single theme and hence we are publishing another theme for guys who are fascinated by the Universe and the beauty it beholds.
The Hubble Space Theme II consists of 30+ Hi-Res Wallpapers which show Birth of Stars, Nebulas, Various Star Formations and other extremely fascinating photos. All wallpapers have a single line that describes what you see in the photo, so you can learn while you enjoy the wallpapers. It also has custom Planet Icons and a cool soundtrack to go along. All in all, an awesome theme for all the Space lovers.
