Re: Found Images: 2012 June
Today's cartoon on XKCD really blew me away! I think the cartoonist would readily agree to its being hosted here.

If you go to the XKCD website and click on the image there, you get an even bigger one.
I find it mind-blowing that we can now detect Mars-sized exoplanets.

Has Rogelio Bernal Andreo's incredible portrait of constellation Leo been posted here? It's a totally amazing image, but it's huge, so I'm only providing a link.
Seriously, this image ought to be made Astronomy Picture of the Day!
