OT: Astronomy Picture of the Day
Here's a great website for those of you who haven't already seen it and have an interest in space exploration in general and astronomy in particular. This Picture (Link) in particular is just awesome I think.
The address to find the current picture of the day is:
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html
Enjoy the beautiful pictures!

Re: OT: Astronomy Picture of the Day
I use APOD on a regular basis. My wallpapers, a lot of my nebula pics for SEIV, all come from downloads from it.

Re: OT: Astronomy Picture of the Day
A lot of the system images in FQM originally came from there, collected by Woundwart. 
Speaking of which... any spectacular new images that need including? Make sure to check the new 2.10, as a lot of images that I did not care for were replaced or removed. There are several open slots in the nebulas that are currently using duplicate image calls and can easily be replaced. |

I have that bookmarked, but I also keep forgetting to look at it.

Re: OT: Astronomy Picture of the Day
I've had that site added to favorites for quite some time. Like most of you, I usually forget to check it.
As Renegade said, the portion of the solar system we've explored is what's in the general "disk" where the planets are. There's still plenty of room for other moon-sized, or larger bodies to be drifting around in the Oort cloud.
