César Cantú's second solar image, which shows the three-dimensional "fur" of the Sun, is really quite nice!

And Iván Éder's image of the Large Magellanic Cloud is very nice, too. It is unusual to see the LMC in its entirety, more or less, as we do here. Note the large star forming region at five o'clock in the image. I have forgotten the name of it, but this region was featured here on the Observation Deck not long ago.
