ENTER! Misc. Av Contest: The Milky Way

[auntiehill]

No, not the candy bar. This contest is about anything and everything in our little corner of the universe---the planets, stars, comets, asteroids, moons, the sun, etc. No vehicles this time, though, so no space shuttles, rockets or satellites.

Thanks to captcalhoun for the idea.

Standard av rules apply. The poll will go up on Thursday.


To kick it off, here's mine:

^^ Nice one.

This is going to be the hardest contest yet-- I'm going to love everything.

Yes, this one will be hard to judge. I'll get my entry in tomorrow.

^^ One of my favorites, too, especially since reading 2061: Odyssey 3.

I came up with several ideas (solar prominence, Io, colliding galaxies, solar eclipse), and considering the images I found for them are all quite cool, I'll post them all here anyway, but I'll be entering with the Io one.

well, hate to be the astronomy nazi, but the third'd be disqualified for not being in the Milky Way anyway.
