Love Hubble images.

Always amazed at how much is out there, and how much we don't see (especially in a city..) and that infact that some of the galaxies we see, are millions/ billions of years old, and have probably disintegrated / vanished / morphed into "something else"

I had a slew of photos that I used as desktops / wall paper. I think my favorite was the great red spot . It was a composed close-up, where eth spot took up the lower left 1/3 of the screen. The disclaimer was, that on a 19" monitor (massive back then!) that a grapefruit was about the size of the earth in comparison.
