The first image is of the Phoenix Lander as it traverses the Martian atmosphere reading fro touchdown. The image was taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Absolutely amazing what humans can do. A 422 million mile journey to an Alien World and the Phoenix Space craft survives touchdown in a perfectly healthy manner. In the next 90 days we will again be awed at the science this little fellow will produce and send back to us!!
The second image is first light from the eyes of Phoenix of the Mars Polar Region.

M51 Supernova
These pictures show M51 (Whirlpool Galaxy) from May 2005 before supernova was sited and June 30 2005 from my log at slooh.com
Following are some great snaps of various colorful nebulas. Taken from Slooh.com. A robotic telescope in the Canary Islands. Charles Messier (1730-1817) compiled a list of approximately 110 astronomical objects. In those early days of astronomy, discovering comets was a way to make a name for yourself. Charles Messier aim was to catalogue objects that were often mistaken for comets.Hence each object is preceded with the letter M. For more information on Messier objects check out: seds.org/messier/
Trifid Nebula also known as M20
Lagoon Nebula also known as M8
Crab nebula also known as M1
