Some really beautiful pictures here almost every day, along with comprehensive explanations of what you are looking at.

Darn it you beat me to it you Butt-Crack!

Todays is amazing, it is about the whisp veil nebula and how a few thousand years ago it used to be as bright as a crecent moon (we miss out on everything it seems, but hey we did go to the moon!)

But the best one EVER!!! is...DRUM ROLL...

antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov...

Everyone MUST SEE THIS!

and I suggest you save it as a desktop wallpaper such as me, It makes an AWESOME wallpaper, especially with the lights out (It has an unearthly glow even from your computer!)

and it is a hell of a lot better than my self made collage of Incredible astro-pics (which is saying a lot because I had everything from galaxies and star clusters to pictures of our sun...it was awesome but not like this )

If you go to the site where it explains stuff, the link provided by WOS

You can go to archives and sift through mountains of incredible pics, the link is at the bottom.

I just discovered the Astronomy Picture of the Day web site and, after doing an ATS search before starting a thread on it, I found this very old thread and felt that it deserved a bump.

Hallowe'en's Moon




Follow the link and click on 'Discover the Cosmos' to the left, just under the Headline to get a list of pictures.
