Some good ones in there, although quite a few were in last years Boston Globe best of.

Speaking of which the Big Picture : Hubble Telescope Advent Calendar has some stunning pictures (new one each day!)...

They're awesome, Slackers.  I love the Big Picture stuff.

I hope that matador died a horribly slow and painful death.

Quote from: Slackers' second big picture link
Spanish matador Israel Lancho is gored by a Palha's ranch bull during a bullfight at the San Isidro's fair in Las Ventas bullring in, Madrid, on May 27, 2009. Lancho was hospitalized with an eight-inch wound below his ribcage.

Big Picture also have a best of the decade.

This is a 12 day  :o exposure taken with Hubble...

Quote
This is called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. Starting in late 2003, astronomers pointed Hubble at a tiny, relatively empty part of our sky (only a few stars from the Milky Way visible), and created an exposure nearly 12 days long over a four-month period. The result is this amazing image, looking back through time at thousands of galaxies that range from 1 to 13 billion light-years away from Earth. Some 10,000 galaxies were observed in this tiny patch of sky (a tenth the size of the full moon) - each galaxy a home to billions of stars.
