Time for us to have a subforum because there is so much good stuff in these topics...
or at least a sticky.
Nothing here mind=blown just a few cool pics on the net.
Whatcha got misc?

In general relativity, a black hole is a region of space in which the gravitational field is so powerful that nothing, not even light, can escape.
Lensing by a black hole. Animated simulation of gravitational lensing caused by a Schwarzschild black hole going past a background galaxy. A secondary image of the galaxy can be seen within the black hole Einstein ring on the opposite direction of that of the galaxy. The secondary image grows (remaining within the Einstein ring) as the primary image approaches the black hole. The surface brightness of the two images remain constant, but their angular size vary, hence producing an amplification of the galaxy luminosity as seen from a distant observer. The maximum amplification occurs when the background galaxy (or in the present case a bright part of it) is exactly behind the black hole.

Anyone with a cool $4 million and change might consider doing what 43 other people have done, and sign up for an orbital space vacation in 2012 with Galactic Suite Space Resort. The Barcelona-based company plans to open the first space hotel if all goes according to plan.
Space customers would spend three nights in their orbital pod room, where they could crawl around like Spiderman (or Venom) in Velcro suits. Reuters reports that guests would also enjoy an eight-week training course set on a tropical island.

Wtf is all this? false colour nebulas and CGI space stations?
Here is some real science!
Map of the observable universe - each dot is a galaxy in space
Light bending due to mass of eclipsing galaxy cluster. Te five bright dots are images of the same distant quasar. Note the galaxy the quasars are in is rotated in each image around the axis.
pollen grains, resolved using an electron microscope:
here are anticrepuscular rays- the sun is directly behind the photographer, and the light rays emerging from it are shadowed by the clouds above him, and converge at an point on the opposite side of the sky.
