It has been awhile since I've posted about the Astronomy Picture of the Day web site.
Hidden Galaxy IC 342 is beautiful. I always get lost trying to imagine just how big is the universe. A picture of a galaxy helps a bit.
The Antennae Galaxies in Collision is also breathtaking.
Something like Markarian's Chain of Galaxies takes me up an order of magnitude.
A nebula is much smaller. This picture of An Orion Deep Field is very striking. As is The Prawn Nebula.
A fun place to wander around is the Astronomy Picture of the Day Calender. From here you can select a month and see a the snapshots of a month's worth of pictures.

I love all of these pictures. I am always amazed that the pics of the galaxies and the vast universe are similar to pictures at the cellular level.
