    Looking for Space photos

    I am looking for photos of space and space related photos.

    My boy is starting to get interested in space now and I am looking to setup a nice display on his computer for him.

    Yes I have searched for Hubble photos, but only seem to be able to get to sites that require you to join them to get the good ones.

    Anyone know where else to go?

    Presumably you want wallpaper? You didn't mention a resolution. To get you started:

    Google Image Search setting image size to large reveals some nice ones
    This site has a few good images, but they are 1024x768

    It's a popular topic and I would guess there are quite a few websites for good astronomy images so some other people can probably give you some nice ideas.

    Space is where you find it! OK, here's one of the biggest spaces I know, right outside Cedar Key, Florida.

    Yeah, well I had a problem with my areola once, but the doc gave me some cream to put on and it cleared right up!

    This is a space simulator program. http://openuniverse.sourceforge.net/ it is free and works well. I think you may have fun with it.
