Sapce Images as Backgrounds

[Geek-9pm]

Looking for a remarkable background? NASA has a large collection of sspace images taken with the Hubble telescope. Take a look.

You could either use such images for your PC wallpaper or maybe decoraet your web site. Of course, if you put an image on your web site be sure to credit the source.

You can also "Create" similar images using programs like Space Engine. In addition to known celestial objects, you can create pictures of "fictional" ones generated through procedural generators. It basically "fills in" what we don't know with generated stuff. I've definitely posted about it before but it is quite an impressive piece of software. The controls and UI are a bit unusual.

Titan and Saturn

Io and Jupiter

Fictional Blue planet system

I suspect the procedural generation doesn't consider things like the Roche Limit. Doesn't prevent the images from being quite cool, though.
