Check this site out.  They post a different photo related to our cosmo every day.   I look at it each morning right after reading Garrison Keillor" Writer's Almanac.   Here is the photo from yesterday.   http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap120321.html

Some interesting pictures. I bookmarked it and will check it out later. I just finished Death From the Skies. A weird title, sounds like a horror novel, but is actually a fascinating book on the universe. I will never view the sun or space in the same way. It gives a very good picture of the structure of the sun, black holes, gamma-ray bursts, ways our earth could be destroyed and how the universe will end.

That aurora picture is just swoon worthy. Wow.

Thanks for the link Kay, and thanks for the CSM article as well, I'll give that a look when I can.

Thanks for the wonderful link Kay.  I was fortunate in my 20's to travel to Alaska almost every other week.  The auroras up there were just amazing.

I continue to be entralled with this site and find myself sending links to friends of particular images that I find beautiful or simply amazing or that stretch my mind about the cosmos.

So I decided I would intermittently share some of those images with all of you.   No one needs to reply unless they have something they want to say.  I will be happy just posting them here and hope people take a look now and then.

Here are three recent images I found intiging.   Kay

Thanks for bumping this thread with some new pics, kay. I was following it for a while when you first posted then forgot about it. I have seen that last pic of the colliding galaxies a couple of times last week. I think some of the aggregator websites out there that repost content they rake up have also found this site. This has the best pic of the Venus transit I've seen so far.
