I got this image from Astronomy Picture of the Day. You may want to consider bookmarking them. (I’ve added them to the links list as well)

Order of the Stick is a Dungeons and Dragons based comic, but I couldn’t resist the application of real science in the occult setting.

These pics are from a guy named Kenneth Libbrecht. You can see more at his website here.

Finally, here’s a link to a picture that shows a low temperature SEM magnification series for a snowflake. It’s got 8 images of a snowflake continually zoomed in until 36000x.
