[APOD: 2010 July 28th]
Every single day since June 16th 1995 NASA has posted an Astronomy Picture of the Day on their APOD archive here... http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html
A lot of Hubble telescope photos and just a lot of interesting stuff. They describe it as "Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer." As a big astrohead this was an incredible find for me and I've been blown away ever since I did, way back when I first was working on this new CHANNEL-3 Space Station site. You can see the influence it had on me with the header up top, oh, and all the stars everywhere.
Plus! Being the astrohead that I am, my mindset's like this... you are spinning on a big ball in the middle of nothingness (no fact), what've you got to lose!? Get on it.
Crazy fact: There are more stars in the sky than there is grains of sand on the Earth! Billions and billions of billions. Our sun is a star. Earth can fit inside the sun a million times over.
