I cannot say how nice those pictures are, and to think we won't be getting more...

Sadly nothing last forever. Considering the early problem with the telescope, its amazing to have gotten the pictures that we did.

Why? The Hubble is going kaput?

Hubble if I recall correctly, has a serious problem with one of the crucial parts for taking these types of photo's, and NASA isn't going to fix it.

I believe a robotic mission to repair the hubble is being proposed.
