    You can find them at NASA's site here:
    http://hubblesite.org/gallery/wallpaper/

    They've got dozens of pictures in multiple resolutions for you to choose from: from 640 X 480 all the way up to 2560 x 1024. The site even recommends the best resolution for you.

    Here are some 800 X 600 samples of my favorites:

    That last one just boggles my mind..... and they say were the only ones "out there"
    It's fun to let your mind wander and try to "wrap" it around the vastness of SPACE.

    Great link Larva thank you!

    Don't get me started here. You guys know how I am about Space and its vastness... This stuff truly makes my head explode. SERIOUSLY how is the universe this big? How are the distances that incredibly, mind blowing, cannot wrap thought around the concept vast? Is there an end to it? How can something truly be infinite and if it is finite then what is beyond that? ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

    must go take medicine now... head hurt.....

    Oh man the beauty of it all though... One of my favorite things in life are space images....

    The thing that gets me is the existance of so many galaxies. Forget stars, but whole clusters of stars.

    I wish we could figure out a way to study the stars around us (Milky Way) better. I think one day we will be able to travel to one of those stars, but traveling to another galaxy seems impossible.

    "Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space."

    A little while ago a friend sent me this link and once in a while I go there now.. especially when I hear some Pink Floyd music.

    This huge distances and these many galaxies and planets also always let me think about how wonderful our blue planet looks. Its so lovely.
