Check this out!

It has the most beautiful images I've ever seen! Don't you agree? :D


One warning though; This site has many dial-up modem killer photos so be careful! :wink:

ouf! I have luck because I don't have a 56k-modem :)

and beware: The stars are any thousand millions lightyears away so you need time to download the pix (it doesn't matter if you have 56k or 1024k) 8)

I had found a small pic of the Crab nebula, but now I got the full wallpaper size pic. :)
The Crab, the Tarantula and the Orion nebulas are beautiful!
