Here's today's image in honor of the summer solstice. I recommend viewing it while listening to Spinal Tap for the complete experience!

I found this site about six months ago and ever since it is the first site I visit every morning when I fire up my PC. Whenever I want to feel grounded, I search the archives and am quickly reminded of my place in the universe. Here's today Hi-res image, a rare photo of a distant galaxy looking right on its edge. I hope you enjoy:

God, I saw this on a flight to Houston once. It was beautiful beyond description as there were small circular rainbows surrounding the sundogs. Originally Posted by Faultline
