Orion le Magnifique
If you like spacey space pictures, they don't get any better than this (from APOD, of course).
Damn you, Ty Griffin! After about 5 minutes of exploring the Orion Nebula picture in great detail, and, yes, reading all the info provided, I spent another 30 minutes following the links and reading about the various telescopes and star clusters, etc. I have dirty dishes in the sink but spent 35 minutes peering into the heavens. Perhaps, as I believe it was said by Oscar Wilde, "We are, all of us, in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
