Astronomy Picture of the Day

I have to share one of my favorite websites. Astronomy Picture of the Day has the coolest photos imaginable. Sometimes the view is of the heavens from some vantage point here on earth. Other pictures show distant galaxies or planets from our own solar system. Many of the pictures are truly inspirational. The captions explain where and how the pictures were taken. The site is maintained by professional astronomers Robert Nemiroff and Jerry Bonell. Be sure to check out the archive.
