QUESTION:
Where can the most recent images taken from the Hubble be found on the World 
Wide Web?

ANSWER from Marc Siegel on 28th May 1996:
Well, often the most recent images taken by the HST are not available to 
the general public.  Once an astronomer applies for and is given time
on the HST, the images that come back belong to that astronomer for a 
certain period of time.  This gives the researcher time to look for the 
interesting information and then write a paper which describes the new 
findings.  The reasoning goes like this: if a person has taken the time 
and effort to write up a proposal for interesting research, that person 
should have the first crack at publishing the results.  Thus the data is 
proprietary to that researcher for a certain period of time.  So it is
usually not possible to see the results immediately of what the Hubble
viewed that day.

But for the most recent observations and findings that are available to 
the public, this URL is quite good: http://www.stsci.edu
