Not really space but kinda related? First pictures of the results of the Large Hadron Collidor.

Neptune's really pretty.

The 1st -- and only so far -- visible light photos there were in the summer of 1989.

Quasars.

By now they're normal galaxies, but "updated" light won't reach here for eons, if ever (because that space expanding thing). Also this galaxy may be seen as a quasar there.

For some reason this pic brings to mind the Dr. Seuss book, Horton Hears a Who.
