Wotk at NASA - I whish! Nah, I get them from all over the Internet. NASA makes it a bit hard for the average person to find great images, so I thought I'd make it a bit easier...

this is the first pic that caught my eye and it's still the best. there's a powerful clash of forces and the colours are surreal...who knew nature could churn out colours no palette could capture. *blown away*

Wow what an image. Made possible by our tax dollars at work. I can't think of a better way to spend them, than in the pursuit of a greater understanding of universe and our place in it. 10 x 10 and in my favs.
