Default Best galactic images

I don't know about you, but my first choice for my future carrier was to be an astronaut. I had to abandon as I had no chance to apply with my heart not in a good shape since the beginning.

Well, I won't cry for ever as we have the net to be informed about space. It's amazing how impressive Universe can be when you have the chance to have a glimpse of it.

Here you have the top 20 for the best galactic images :

You can vote for the best in here if you want to:

My favorite is Pillars of creation. But I like a lot those two ants and the horsehead nebula and the sunspot loops. All right, all right. I love them all. :biggrin:

How about you ?

It's a nice one. Beautiful colors and that shadow is really like a horse.
