The Milky Way:
I'm finding astronomy more fascinating than ever, now that I'm getting back into it.
That is a very cool picture! 👍

OK... the following might not be "amazing"... but I wasn't sure where to post this.
We were up in Dallas last week visiting family and we went to a botanical garden to take some family photos with the various spring flowers. While I was looking around I was shocked to see a rather large falcon sitting in a crepe myrtle bush just a few feet of the ground, and who didn't seem the least bit intimidated by anyone!
Not only is it a very unusual place to see a falcon... but they tend to stay perched in very high open places. I thought maybe he was someone's pet that got lost, but there was no tag around either of his feet.

I get to watch falcons hunt small birds in my city fairly regularly. They do get pretty low sometimes, but I've only seen them perched atop buildings. They're amazing birds indeed.

Not half as impressive, but I tried one of those with an F430 Challenge car.

I'm convinced the S2000 picture I posted it chopped. The second and third frames of the car are exactly the same, and you can see some discoloration on the track. He must have screwed it up when he took it. That much be why there's not a larger version, lol.
Nice pic Exigeracer. It's so weird how some frames of the car don't look like they could have come from the frame before it, but cars move around and do funny things while they're braking and cornering and accelerating all within a split second.

I tried looking around for a few more highish-red of these, but I ran out of time. Goes along with the previous water theme:

I was getting all set to post some of them too.
Damn these emails spreading everywhere. It sure does get around though. Imagine if it had a virus attached...

Okay the original for this is way to large to simply post here so click on the pic for the full size version. It's 6740 x 4768 but absolutely fascinating!

I keep saving these in my news reader, but keep forgetting to post them. These are the biggest versions I have.
Soyuz Spacecraft touchdown
Lightning in the Mt. Redoubt eruption recorded using a Lightning Mapping Array to detect eletrical charges inside the plume. Read the story here.
A picture of the shadow of Enceladus on Saturn's clouds, taken by the Cassini Spacecraft. Link
Galaxy NGC 7049 taken from Hubble. It is a part spiral/elliptical galaxy. Story.
And finally,
Drum roll, please.
The ISS sporting its brand new bling. This one will be going on my PS3, I think.

Check it out:
I opened some Rocky Road ice cream last night and it was smiling at me.
And I took a pic of my ampicillin-resistant E. Coli culture that I grew in bio lab. I've officially made a WMD (weapon of mass diarrhea).

The KLM plane and the DC10 are seriously close.
I wonder what the wash is like from the jet engines.
