Hubble Site for viewing images

Not sure if you guys are aware of the site

I shows some interesting images that Hubble is seeing. The neat part I liked was the zoom able image function.

Click on "Carina Nebula" link the first one then click Zoom icon below the image. This has a very large image 4K. You can see and download from astronomical picture of the day http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/

I just downloaded the add-on for this nebula and will see what it looks like in Celestia. Thought you might like to know.
