Astronomy Picture of the Day (revived!)
 
Found a cool picture of something astronomical you felt like sharing, whether you stumbled across it or maybe because you visited /r/spaceporn?

If you stumble across a picture in here and maybe have some questions about it, or want to explain it, then here's the thread to do so!

To start things off, here's a picture of the Carina Nebula:

Here's a photo from Cassini of Saturn's hexagon. This hexagonal cloud pattern is formed by atmospheric jet streams surrounding Saturn's north polar vortex.
