A simple sight, well suited for amatuer astronomers. Each day, a new picture is up with a short text. If you go back a couple of days, with the little arrow, you can see a film of a japanese lunar lander decending on the moons surface. I use this page as my home page. Some of the nebula shots from hubble make outstanding desktop backgrounds.

P.S. The sight is a great way to keep up on everyones spaceshots, whats going on with Mir, what the shuttles are up to, what discoveries the mars landers and Cassini have made, and so on. Keeps you current.
