A different astronomy and space sciencerelated image is featured each day, along with a brief explanation.

The most famous war poster was Alfred Leete's 1914 image of Lord Kitchener pointing directly at the viewer. So successful was this image that it was adapted for American use in both World War I and II by JM Flagg. Here are 10 other war posters which show the power of wartime propaganda.

Although we assume our readers to be über-capable technophiles, we were still impressed by the photos we received during our call for submissions of telescope photos. They include both photos of telescopes and photos taken with telescopes. Click through the gallery to see the superb photography of these space fans.

Dramatic pic, enlargeable, wallpaper.

Brilliant.

Tom Turkey swears it was in this row.

Some state signs don't seem to prepare tourists for the state they're about to enter. So here are some more realistic state signs.

Good list -- from Wilt Chamberlain & Bob McAdoo to Gary Payton, Ray Allen and, most recently, Allen Iverson.

Wallpaper (at-home, not on-screen) isn’t what it used to be, but we bet you never thought it could look THIS good! New ideas and revolutionary techniques have allowed artists and designers to bring two-dimensional surfaces to life from LED-lit to color-changing tech wallpapers. What’s on YOUR wall?

From crooked houses to spiral shaped homes, from modern office blocks to space age shopping malls, the architects of these buildings were obviously on a creative high. Here are 50 of the most strangely designed buildings of the world.

With his days in office coming to an end, we look back at some of Georgie Boy’s finest moments.

When the iTunes App Store first opened up to eager iPhone and iPod touch upgraders (and iPhone 3G buyers), one of the first types of applications to show up was the to-do/task manager.

Prior to her political career, Yulia Tymoshenko was a successful but controversial businesswoman in the gas industry, which made her wealthy. She's 47 and is known for her iconic, plaited hairstyle. Google her for more pics, I think she's a major hottie. :)

It seems there is no shortage of crazy burger pics and impressive (if not a little gross) works of "burger-art." This homage to the all-American love of beef paddies is enough to bring a tear to your eye (and cholesterol to your arteries!).

Spread the labor around.

Be sure to add Obama to this when he throws out the first pitch on Opening Day for the White Sox.

These are early storyboards from Star Wars, from before the Falcon was changed to its current design. To my knowledge, the majority of these storyboards were done by 'Rocketeer' and 'Jumanji' director Joe Johnston.

Epic! An illustration by Ratcrtur and Eric Wiese done for Wizard Magazine sometime back in 2000, based on Neal Adams' famous "Superman vs. Muhammad Ali" cover. I wonder who would win?

Mastercard has rebranded itself and also got a new name, Mastercard Worldwide. What are your thoughts on this one. [PICS]

The Universe is expanding gradually now. But its initial expansion was almost impossibly rapid as it likely grew from quantum scale fluctuations in a trillionth of a second. In fact, this cosmological scenario, known as Inflation, is now reported to be further quantified by an analysis of three years of data from the WMAP spacecraft.

Crazy things crazy people do with snomobiles

Watch as a whale comes up under a KiteSurfer!

Maybe there was a mistranslation?

From Britt Ekland to Ursula Andress, aging has truly caught up to many of these iconic Bond girls from the classics such as 'Dr. No' and 'Thunderball' (Although, some would say they still look hotter than your average grandma!)

Picture by BehindDarkEyes. The graffiti reads: "Only when the last tree has withered, the last fish has been caught, and the last river's been poisoned, will man realize we cannot eat money."

Gathered from around the world, these are some of the best cartoons based on the Obama victory.

A single note in the night sky.

Dextre, built by the Canadian Space Agency, has arms more than 9 feet in length and can attach power tools as fingers. Behind Dextre is the blackness of space, while Earth looms over Dextre's head. The Kibo laboratory segment that was deployed during space shuttle Discovery's trip to the ISS can be pressurized and contains racks of scientific...

Almost surreal scene, especially when pic is enlarged. Really nice image.

The Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park is the largest hot spring in the United States, and the third largest in the world. The vivid colors in the spring are the result of pigmented bacteria. The spring discharges an estimated 560 gallons (2000 litres) of 160°F (71°C) water per minute.
