Nebulae
Deep Field Survey
Planets
A few sample pictures from various satellites and imaging technologies: Landsat, SIR-C, SPOT.
For those who might still be skeptical about the Hubble Space Telescope, here are a few examples of its spectacular results. I don't know about your eyes, but to mine, the detail, the colors, and the subtlety of the images is just astonishing compared with the best of earth-bound telescopes.
These are just a tiny sample of the images available from Hubble.
