The editors of the Astronomy Picture of the Day have listed their 12 favorite images of 2007.

There was certainly no shortage of breathtaking images to choose from — with robotic cameras orbiting Mars and rolling around its surface, the Cassini spacecraft at Saturn, space telescopes exploring the cosmos, and ground-based imaging with increasingly sophisticated hardware and software.

One of those selected was this image of the Barred Spiral Galaxy NGC 1672. Link -via Bad Astronomy Blog

    Living in a high light-pollution area, I like the picture of the stars over Death Valley.

    When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all.
