Re: So Beautiful
I'm not sure they got its best side! 
Check out NASA's APOTD, if you don't already.
They have the occasional blinder on there, like this one from yesterday:

Must have spent some time over the last couple of years, painstakingly cropping and resizing APOTD pictures to 1280x1024 for wallpapers.
Then of course came the widescreen monitors!
