Are we alone? Yeah, but it's still a cool .gif.

This is a repository for my favorite space Pictures.

These are the ones I think everyone would enjoy. I have over 250meg worth on my HD so these are a small fraction of the space images I have collected but they are good.
They are clickable to get a larger version. Some are really huge. Conversely, some of my homemade thumbs look pretty sad so I recommend clicking on them.

These are my favorite deep space objects.

M104

This is M104. The Sombrero Nebula. One of the more popular candidates for M102.

n1999

NGC1999. For some reason, this is not the Keyhole Nebula.

m51

M51, don't let this happen to your Galaxy. This is my favorite.

M57

This is M57. This nebula can be seen in many Star Trek episodes.

IRS8

Hmm, what would it look like if a star hit a nebula? Maybe it would look like this.

Horsehead Nebula

This is the Horsehead Nebula. It's really just a small part of a really big cloud in the constellation Orion.

M16

By now, this ones a classic. A close up of M-16. Note: the stars forming on the small pillars. Too cool.

NGC6751

This one's just pretty. NGC6751.

These are some more of my favorite deep space objects.

Eta Carinae

This is Eta Carinae a.k.a. NGC3372. Supposed to be in the Keyhole Nebula but I don't see where it could be. You be the judge.

Keyhole Nebula

This IS the Keyhole Nebula. Go figure.

N3132

This is NGC 3132. A great background pic. I still have this one loaded on my list of BG's.

M31

M31, The Andromeda Galaxy. Very cool.

BZ Cam

OK, who hasn't seen a star hit a nebula? What about if the stars are binary? Here's BZ Cam.

Orion Nebula

This is a really good picture of the Orion Nebula, M42 and M43.

 Hourglass Nebula

This one is called the Hourglass Nebula.

These are my favorite objects of my Solar System. It's called the Sol system. I might have named it the 'JT-3D system' but that's what I get for missing meetings.

Earth & Moon

Here is where I live. The Earth and Moon.

Sun

This is the Sun. It keeps my electric bill high in the summer.

Moon

Here's the Moon. My nearest neighbor in the solar system I call home.

Mars

This is Mars. A big red desert.

Saturn

This is the coolest planet in my solar system, Saturn.

Jupiter and Europa

Another gas giant, Jupiter.

Eros

This is my favorite asteroid, Eros. It's my favorite because it's a non-Earth crosser and the NEAR-Shoemaker satellite has taken some really cool pictures of it.

Mars Scenery

Ok, for you purists out there, this is the Mars scenery without the Martian.gif treatment.

Atlantis and Mir

Here's the Space Shuttle Atlantis docked with the Mir space station. They're probably having borscht and burgers for lunch.

Grab a bevy of space pics from APOD. They make great backgrounds.
