APOD stands for Astronomy Picture Of the Day. It’s on the NASA website and posts some mind-blowing images.
EXPLANATION OF THE ABOVE IMAGE
NGC 602 and Beyond

Explanation: Near the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy some 200 thousand light-years distant, lies 5 million year young star cluster NGC 602.
Surrounded by natal gas and dust, NGC 602 is featured in this stunning Hubble image of the region. Fantastic ridges and swept back shapes strongly suggest that energetic radiation and shock waves from NGC 602’s massive young stars have eroded the dusty material and triggered a progression of star formation moving away from the cluster’s center. At the estimated distance of the Small Magellanic Cloud, the picture spans about 200 light-years, but a tantalizing assortment of background galaxies are also visible in the sharp Hubble view. The background galaxies are hundreds of millions of light-years or more beyond NGC 602.
Wow! The first one is amazing!
“Contact” was on T.V. tonight, so these come right on time… 
NOW THAT’S WHAT ALL COMETS SHOULD LOOK LIKE. WHOA!
The Magnificent Tail of Comet McNaught

Explanation: Comet McNaught, the Great Comet of 2007, has grown a long and filamentary tail. The spectacular tail spreads across the sky and is visible to Southern Hemisphere observers just after sunset. The head of the comet remains quite bright and easily visible to even city observers without any optical aide. The amazing tail is visible on long exposures and even to the unaided eye from a dark location. Reports even have the tail visible just above the horizon after sunset for many northern observers as well. Comet McNaught, estimated at magnitude -2 (minus two), was caught by the comet’s discoverer in the above image just after sunset last Friday from Siding Spring Observatory in Australia. Comet McNaught, the brightest comet in decades, is now fading as it moves further into southern skies and away from the Sun and Earth.
Tomorrow’s picture: falling galaxy
amazing work of art, God is awsome!!!
Now that’s global warming: sun flares.
By the way, the sombrero galaxy is big, really big: the size of our own Milky Way galaxy.

I e-mailed the site to a friend of mine, who was interested. He is hooked now!
