Yeah, very cool!

Would like to remind everyone that the Greek word planētēs means wanderer.
Comet Lovejoy is such a pretty colour. And what a friendly sounding name
should be visible with the naked eye around Orion moving towards Taurus.
I've been trying to spot this comet since it became naked eye visible, but no luck so far.
Nasa recently posted the largest photo of Andromeda galaxy ever taken, every tiniest dot you see in this image is a star and each star is speculated to have at least 1 planet orbiting around it. Galaxy itself is estimated to have Trillion stars and its among 100 Billion galaxy’s in observable universe.

I posted a link because image is far too large to embed.
Yaaa! That high res picture of Andromeda is amazing
All such wonderful photos posted.. This ones a 360 degree rainbow.. well two of them. Its beautiful picture, hypnotic isnt it?!
I know it's not very popular here, but the Orion constellation / region of the sky is stunningly beautiful. Here is a photo of a 212 hour exposure of the constellation:

That one is very pretty. I was at Bryce Canyon once, but didn't see that lake.

I don't know how I feel about the last APOD (April 4th). When it comes to natural beauty, I appreciate only all-natural. Anything synthetic done (outside of basic brightness adjustments) ruins potentially beautiful photos for me. I think of it akin to someone graffiti-ing their own artwork all over a National Park: its already naturally beautiful, so any 'enhancements' only deface that beauty. That photo is a combination of the best aurora photo from that location and the best waterfall photo from that same location. So I would consider that in some gray area in between natural and not. I realize the conditions were extremely difficult to the point the photo may not have existed at all, so I do appreciate it exists. I just won't add it to my aurora wallpaper collection.
