Top 10 Space Science Images of 2002

Posted by timothy on from the dick-clark-is-on-hand dept.

DarkKnightRadick writes "Here you can find what Space.com considers the Top 10 Space Science images of the past year." As the accompanying article points out, "Hubble, refurbished during 2002, continues to provide benchmark astrophotography. However, other telescopes, in space and on the ground, see things that Hubble cannot." DarkKnightRadick continues: "The site is filled with artists theoretical renderings and actual photographs from both ground and space based telescopes."

    I can't see how the images would be misleading. At the bottom of every picture that was a rendering it was specifically stated that it was an artist rendering. It might be a bit misleading if you couldn't read english, but aside from that it's pretty explicit.

    I dunno who chose these images, but I can come up with at least 10 images that I find much more interesting. And HOW can I find all these wonderfull astronomy images? HERE:

    http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html

    The "Astronomy Picture of the Day" site. Over 7 years online, never a format change, and never an advertisement.

    The site mentioned in the article has the most annoying advertising I have yet to see on the internet.
