My friend Jeff (also a ryze member) has this marked as his &#8216;home page&#8217; to catch the image on a daily basis.  I tend to go and back-track through the images I missed since my last visit.

I featured this site first because I think you should see something beautiful to get you interested in any topic &#8211; to see the inspirational side before you get to the alley ways of the adventure awaiting off-world.<\/p>\n<p>From APOD: &#8220;Discover the cosmos!
