Thanks for that, it was great. The explanations of each picture are very interesting as well.

 

I've forwarded the site to a friend of mine who teaches Earth Science and Astronomy, I'm sure he will be able to work those into his classes.

Very nice, wonderful images. But the posters leave something to be desired, all are too nice.

Be warned, you will spend hours looking at this site, it has a picture for every day of the year stretching back to about 1995 or so.
