I've just been looking at a set of 13 photos of and from planets on the Christian Science Monitor website and thought you'd enjoy them too. It is amazing what we can see today. My favourite has to be no. 9 Uranus - it's so pretty! 😉

Great photos Judy! I like number 5, the orange Venus planet - lots of detail there. I often take a look at [url]NASAs Astronomy Picture of the Day[/url] which shows some fascinating pictures.
How about The Horsehead Nebula

or my favourite the Crab Nebula
Thanks, Judy. I love No. 7 because I actually saw it! The smiley face I mean. While I was in India last winter. In fact I phoned a friend to tell him to go outside and look at it. It didn't last long and not many people spotted it. Great memory.
Fabulous pictures! I am loving Neptune and the sunset on Mars. Amazing!
Yes these are quite beautiful, thanks for posting the link
