Wow, for the price of one. Very nice. :lol: I was really amazed by the volcano pics. I had no idea the top of the plume would look so pristine and undisturbed. Stuff like this is really neat to see.

Bumping this topic up again as it's fascinating to see all these pics again.

Also, scientists have found what possibly may be the heaviest star ever:

Hm, I have a feeling this is going to turn out to be not quite what it seems, as the article alluded. Probably it will be a couple of stars so close together that the current technology can't tell them apart.

Very nice. :) Space always has such great scenery. Some of those huge pictures NASA puts out make great desktop backgrounds.
