http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060119.html I made it my wallpaper (it's big enough and it looks amazing).
Of course, I could just have given you this link: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html ... This one is extremely beautiful, too: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0601/gcenter_spitzer_f40.jpg As are many. I need more screens, to put them all on as wallpapers parallelly...
Good pics. [i:f3fc264506]Very[/i:f3fc264506] good pics. Sadly, the picture currently on my desktop is from the Discworld calendar. The Wizards, at the moment. Also have one of Death and The Watch. It shall be a tough decision, to replace that pic or not.
[quote:8a04ad0dae="Saccharissa"]I agree, the Orion Nebula is my desktop as we speak [/quote:8a04ad0dae] Same here ! I'm wondering... does Orion have pirates ?
No... only a syndicate... But, to dig this thread out, here is another nice one; a slightly different view at the moon.

But small color differences have been greatly exaggerated to make this dramatic mosaic image of the Moon's gibbous phase. The familiar Sea of Tranquility (Mare Tranquillitatis) is the blue area right of center. White lines radiate from the crater Tycho at bottom left, while purplish tones mottle the crater Copernicus left of center. Though exaggerated, the different colors are recognized to correspond to real differences in the chemical makeup of the lunar surface - blue hues reveal titanium rich areas while orange and purple colors show regions relatively poor in titanium and iron. Calibrated by rock samples from the Apollo missions, similar multicolor images from spacecraft have been used to explore the Moon's global surface composition.[/quote:450d20426f] http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060216.html
