Coolest Space Science Images of 2001

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-see dept.

Ant writes "The collective upward human gaze yields numerous special images of space every year. Being a curious lot with a certain mastery of technology, we keep looking deeper and with greater resolution at the most remarkable features of the universe, near and far." Eye candy, desktop source material, and it'll make ya feel insignificant too!

  1. Wacked picture captions by moyix · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This is a completely irrelevant side note, but has anyone else noticed that Space.com's picture-presenting cgi feeds the caption in the URL? Silly way of doing things, but provides the opportunity for some fun.

    Observe.

    I had some really insightful comment about how space exploration has died, but IE ate it. So you get this instead :p

    Merry Christmas.

  2. Desktop source material? by Bowie+J.+Poag · · Score: 1, Offtopic



    Pictures of space will scare off women, and make your co-workers you're some sort of Star Trek idiot. On the other hand, if you have PROPAGANDA on your desktop, you're helping to promote Linux, women dig your style, and your co-workers will envy your desktop. Simple as that.

    Cheers, and have a merry one,
