If you like neat and interesting pictures, I’d recommend you check out Astronomy Picture of the Day. You don’t have to like astronomy (though it obviously helps) to appreciate the magnitude of some of these shots. Yesterday’s picture featured the recent Leonid meteor shower. Sometimes, these guys can even get wacky.Updated daily by NASA with pictures taken from observatories, the Hubble Space Telescope, and other spacecraft and accompanied by explanatory text from a professional astronomer, the Astronomy Picture of the Day is one of the better sites produced by our government. Remember, this is your tax dollars at work!
