Tony Bologna posted:I love these pictures! "Give Tony a new Background" would be a pretty apt name for this thread. Here's my 390MB collection of space wallpapers if you're interested: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TS47UBDU It's been a while since I've uploaded a collection, but that should have a good amount in it. My monitor is 1920x1080, so they're all collected with that in mind. It's up to 500MB now, maybe I'll compile another .rar file and post it in this thread. Until then Waffleimages is back up, so here's a few more pictures. A model of the current amount of satellites and space junk:  More surface of the sun:  Butterfly Nebula:  Higher resolution picture of the Helix Nebula:  The Crab Nebula:  These are all from my collection, but I'm pretty sure that even at 1920x**** I scaled most of them down from higher resolutions so I could have them as wallpapers. A great site for astronomy pictures is Nasa's Astonomy Picture of the Day Archive which has most of them at their original resolutions as well as short descriptions for each picture. Another good place is Hubblesite, which has a lot of the pictures at their original Hubble resolutions. The picture of the Carina Nebula posted earlier is probably my favorite astronomy image of all time, and Hubblesite has the whole thing at 29566x14321 resolution, which is slightly too large to post here.

RedneckwithGuns posted:That was my only problem with the compilation, otherwise it's amazing and I love it to death. As much as I love awesome space images, those renders and stuff you see on DeviantArt cheapen the real thing for me, regardless of their actual quality, the real thing is so much more spectacular. Agreed, I had them in there mostly for the sake of categorization and that upload is pretty old anyway. I just made a .rar of my collection to date that's a lot larger and has all the fake stuff cut out. The previous one was about 390MB with all the fake stuff in, this is 401MB of real images: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6H1GPFDA And few more examples for the sake of thread content One of Nasa's crawlers used for transporting the space shuttles:  A different angle of an eclipse seen from space:  Part of the image recently taken from Nasa's Solar Dynamics Observatory:
