what is out there?

I came across an article in JDJ about a new venture in commercial astronomy. It is a subscription supported telescope with live feeds available through your browser. A neat idea, and probably a great deal of fun to put together and run. But is started me thinking - what else is out there for astronomy buffs. So I will try to put together a list of public domain astronomy archives.

Starting with http://hubblesite.org/ from our friends at nasa.

Somewhat less flashy - nasa picture of the day

From the world of newsgroups - astronomy archive

Oh - by the way, the name of the commercial venture is SLOOH.
