Astronomical Photographs

For something completely different--

Have a look at NASA's "astronomy picture of the day" site: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/

It's interesting, awe-inspiring--and I hope therapeutic--to be reminded of things much larger than ourselves.

Here are some of my favourite pictures from the NASA site:
