I think it's pretty criminal that this thread hasn't been posted in for almost a year :O ! So, time for me to revive it :P .

This is a picture of the Milky Way, as captured by the GLEAM survey:

It's well worth looking at it at full size, since there's plenty of detail to appreciate (you can pick out the individual stars, for example). Also, the Sci-News article does have a mosaic of another 27 supernova remnants that have been detected by this mission (though, sadly, the images are all rather low-resolution :( )

Here's a lovely picture of Comet Neowise, as seen over Stonehenge:

You can see the winners in the different categories here, and you can see some of the other entries in each category by going to the Galleries index, and clicking the gallery that you're interested in :) .

Any that you liked the look of?

NASA has just released this image of the surface of Mars, showing the 'Blue Dunes' near the northern polar ice cap:

This picture is actually quite old (it combines various smaller images taken between 2002 and 2004); however, it's been released just this year, as part of a series to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 2001 Mars Odyssey mission.

Anyone else think it looks like the nexus energy ribbon from star trek generations? lol.

also here's one of my favorite cool/beautiful things in space.

the Hourglass Nebula

Indeed, now that I look it up, I can definitely see what you mean :lol: .

And, yeah, that's a beautiful nebula - even if it does look as though it's staring at me :P .
