If you really want to see some cool astronomical images, go to NRAO's official Image Gallery. It's a lot better and more current than this ancient archive of early stuff...
Most of these images were obtained from UseNet YEARS ago (remember when
that was a fun place?), so you may have seen them before. Many were found
on other web or anonymous ftp servers in the very early days of the net
and the web (we're talking early 1990's here). Attribution: NRAO/PPM =
something I or NRAO created (Copyright (C) 1995-2003 by Patrick P. Murphy
and/or AUI/NRAO in either case); HST = Hubble Space Telescope; UA =
University of Arizona; JVB = John Victor Brown
<jvbrown@indirect-dot-com>; no attribution implies the source is
alt.binaries.pictures.misc. The images are given here freely
for individual consumption, not for re-publication or
re-sale. Please respect this.
For yet more Astronomical Images, see the Web Nebulae pages for a nicely done interface to lots of images and information about Messier and other Astronomical objects.
