One of the most gorgeous formations in space is a nebula. A nebula is an interstellar dust cloud, that in images shows many brilliant colors as star light breaks through the dust cloud. Modern photography enhances the colors and makes the nebula shine and sparkle with reflected light in every color of the rainbow. To use any of these nebula photos as your desktop wallpaper just right click on image and set as desktop or just save the image.

A nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen gas and plasma. Originally nebula was a general name for any extended astronomical object, including galaxies beyond the Milky Way. Nebulae often form star-forming regions, such as in the Eagle Nebula. This nebula is depicted in one of NASA’s most famous images, the “Pillars of Creation”. In these regions the formations of gas, dust and other materials ‘clump’ together to form larger masses, which attract further matter, and eventually will become big enough to form stars. The remaining materials are then believed to form planets, and other planetary system objects.

Here is the description of the video:

This animation visulaizes launch in August 2007 and entry, descent, and landing of the Phoenix Mars Mission in May 2008. .. The animation was created by Maas Digital under the direction of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Solar System Visualization Project.

This is the second mars rover animation

Video showing very cool NASA images from many years

This is a description of this video that is made up of very cool space images taken from NASA

A montage of recent NASA imagery including the STS121 Shuttle launch, photos from the Spirit Rover on Mars, repairs to the International Space Station, Hubble Telescope photos of planetary nebulae, repairs to the Hubble Telescope using space walks and a robotic arm, pictures from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the Messenger mission to Mercury, and NASA’s planned nuclear powered space engine to be used in exploring the moons of Jupiter.
