Astronomy Picture of the Day

Note: You've got to visit my other blog today to see the photo that accompanies this post. Click here to get there. Here's the post, in case you don't click. Still has good info.

The killer photo on the left is from the Astronomy Picture of the Day web site. They have incredible photos every day. Typically, they show galaxies and stars but on occasion they mix it up with photos like this. Need I say they make fabulous desktop images? Very cool site.

This photo shows an observatory in the Swiss Alps. Before posting the image, I had to shrink it down from the humongous original. They give you high-res pix most days, which is also very cool. 


This one inspired me. I literally wrote this observatory into one of my books. One day I hope you'll read it and say, "Oh, yeah. I remember this!" 

Seriously, doesn't this observatory look like the ultimate workplace? And you should see how nicely I decorated the inside. Very tasteful. 

So g'wan, check out their daily offerings. Here's the link again: Astronomy Picture of the Day.
