I wasn't done! Not by far! Although I don't know how much time I have...
I
love that Milky Way Hermit Crab. The one was born of the other!
I love the Mira watching Mira image, too. Thanks for pointing out one of the two MIras with that laser, Tamás Ladányi! (By the way, what is that kind of laser called in English? A "pocket laser"? A "stargazing laser"?)
The Mira & Mira image is just generally great, and connects the Earth and space so wonderfully. Apart from Mira (the cosmic one), the Pleiades look great, and that bright light must be Jupiter? (Oh, and.. yes, the Eartlhly Mira looks great, too!)
Rolf Wahl Olsen, I love your Uranus and Neptune images. Neptune is so blue!!!
I checked out your homepage, and I just love your solar system images, particularly the image where you line up your best shots of the planets in our solar system. You post them in such a way that the relative size of the planets correspond to their apparent brightness as seen from the Earth, or at least that is my impression. (But I wonder if Venus shouldn't look bigger compared with Jupiter, but maybe I'm wrong...)
There are a number of images here that look almost magical or otherworldly or fantastical, or something like that. I'm thinking of the "broken" lunar crescent, the Sun with "bangs", the fading star trails which look as if Tinkerbell had shaken her magical wand over the Earth, releasing millions of glittering shooting stars, the gigantic slightly "breast-like" (hence their name) mammatus clouds with the tiny airplane apparently lost among them, and the amazing copper-colored storm clouds sprouting lightning bolts and the black sky with stars behind them.
There are many other great images here, but I don't have time to write more!
