A home for images I like

"Space, the final frontier." I love that line from Star Trek. But I especially love the images from space I get from APOD (NASA's Astronomical Picture of the Day). Here are a few of my favorites, in no particular order.


The Butterfly Nebula


The Grand Spiral Galaxy


The Waterfall Nebula


Sun face; prominent sun spots


Sun showing coronal holes


Strong solar flare January 2012
