Here are some of my personal favourite wallpapers for your desktop (and iPhone). Sizes 1900×1200, 1024×768, 1280×800 and 800×600 are all here to fill your eyes with spacey goodness. Let your own scattering of icons sit amongst glorious nebula and spectacular scenes!
I usually have a nice space picture as my computer’s desktop wallpaper. Today someone asked me where I find them. Well I find them all over the place. In the spirit of sharing, here are ten of the best. I have credited where possible. As far as I know, all images are Creative Commons licensed (but feel free to correct me).

Those are some great photos. Unfortunately, I run at 2560×1600 on my main monitor so none of them will fill my screen without stretching. If you ever find yourself doing this again, could you please provide links to your sources?
Excellent work on these.
not sure if it matters, but that 4 suns image is computer generated art. i thought since the rest are actual, that seemed out of place.
