I like BadNick's mini-ocular-astronomical-finder, as well as his accompanying pictures of the moon. (I wonder what his informationally-replete source was for those? Could it really have been the wunderground?)

I still have loads more star-centric pieces to post... I wonder if we should coalesce and accumulate this towards an individual topic in the future.

Here's more:

This artist’s rendering provided by the European Southern Observatory shows a planet, appearing as a crescent at the lower-right of its parent star, HIP 13044, left. While some 500 planets have been identified in other parts of our galaxy — the Milky Way — none have been reported in other galaxies. Now this one has been discovered orbiting the star called HIP 13044, located about 2,000 light year away. While this star is now in the Milky Way, researchers reported in the Thursday, Nov. 18, 2010 online edition of the journal Science that it originated in a separate galaxy that was later cannibalized by ours.
