Someone posted a link to this image on an IRC channel today. Nice shot of Discovery's heat shield and the little white "protrusion" of gap filling material. But I played around with the URL a bit and found a bunch more space-related pictues from various NASA sources. Some of them are quite amazing.
Point your browser here: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/. Images are arranged in directories by year/month. Some of them are quite large. Pictures of space craft, stellar phenomenon, distant galaxies and all kinds of other cool stuff
I think my favorite is this one. "Ensign, set course for earth, maximum warp. ENGAGE!" |

oh! I didn't even realize it was the astronomy picture of the day website! Even better! If you dig around you can even find explanations of what the pictures are. |
