HubbleSite wins a Webby

One of the key public Web sites operated by the Space Telescope Science Institute to disseminate news and discoveries generated by the Hubble Space Telescope, has won a Webby. HubbleSite was named the best science Web site for 2007. Webbies are the top international honors for Internet sites.

Here's the release from the HubbleSite. Here's a link to the Webby folks. And here's a link to the HubbleSite itself. And be sure to visit their amazing Gallery of Hubble images.

Congratulations to all the folks at STScI in Baltimore who have a part in putting HubbleSite together each day. It's a winner!
