    The bods at Microsoft Research help out the astro community lending a hand at data mining astronomy data. This site has nice pics of galaxies etc that can be set as your wallpaper, includes projects for kids to astronomers and overall is worth a look.

    I was pleasently suprised at the site- very good detail, efficient explanations, and good public appeal. 10/10 for that webby Dellboi. It's even multilingual :cool:

    I completely agree, excellent content, cheers for the link mate. I think you just made up my mind between single physics and astrophysics to focus on this year :D
