Everyday I check the site Astronomy Picture of the Day and nearly every time, I get blown away by the photos taken in outer space from a satellite or from earth through powerful telescopes.
Then I think, this must be where our modern artists get their inspiration from! How beautiful and ethereal are these beclouded remnants of stars and galaxies past.
Go check it out: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.htm
You can click on Archives, and see what the outer space artists have been up to.

THOSE ARE FABULOUS, Judy!!! Amazing, Amazing Photo's!!!
I was unaware of this site and I appreciate the link, very much!
Hi Judy, just love the first one and the rearing horse too.
A lot of those pictures would make great computer screen wallpaper. Our universe is amazing.
michele sent me.
I'm amazed at these photos too! Thanks for the link.
Totally awesome. One of my favorite experiences as a Navy jet pilot (years ago!) was to fly on a clear night with the universe above and sprinkled lights of man below. I never saw anything like those pictures, but what I saw was awe-inspiring anyway.

Wow. Like, wow!
Judy, I have this link marked. I might actually find the next incarnation of "Planet Brenda" somewhere in these pictures.
These are fab! I know of this link and look in regularly but can't everday. Nice to know another person who loves astronomy! :)
Judy, this is really amazing!
I agree with Yellojkt, those images would make a beautiful screen wallpaper!
Thanks for the link!
Last but not least, thanks so much for your nice comment on my page!
I always love your visit!
Truly stunning... I remember as a child when my father brought me to our public library for an "Astronomy Night". They had highpowered telescopes set up, and I can remember seeing for myself for the very first time that Saturn really DID have rings! I was completely blown away seeing it for myself and not just in a textbook. To this day I've a fascination with our universe and beyond and I hope that sometime in my lifetime we'll all be able to take vacation trips into space!!
Those pics are so extraordinary! It really is mind blowing to see what's out there.
The pic of Europe at night below is also very cool. I saw one like this of the US too.
Michele sent me to visit with you, Judy. I forgot I was here earlier tonight. My mind is going fast....
The pictures are beautiful beyond belief.
Fantastic images, much appreciated.
I'm book-marked on this site already. Sometimes I just stare and stare.
Looks like you and I have the same great tastes and interests. Thanks for having the foresight and graciousness to share this with everybody else.
