Gleaned from six years of entries posted on the website "Astronomy Picture of the Day," these 365 selections include images from NASA's archives as well as recent Hubble images, photographs from observatories around the world, submissions from astrophotographers, and even an artist's rendition or two. The subjects of these stunning pictures range from a simple photograph of Earth (day one) to a Pathfinder panorama of Mars, a far-infrared image of the Milky Way from the COBE satellite, a sungrazing comet imaged by SOHO, X-ray stars and winds in the Rosette Nebula, a composite galileo image of Io, and the inside of Japan's Superkamiokande neutrino detector.
