The Astronomical Zoo
The Astronomical Zoo
My intent here is to present some pictures of several type of
astronomical objects in a format like that a professional astronomer might
use in his or her work. If you want to go to an object or position on
the sky that I
don't have listed here, check out the Digital Sky Survey!
It's a useful site!
