Planetary Nebula Sun CallistoAn Astronomical Alphabet is a fun introduction to astronomy.  The photos displayed show the alphabet shapes as found in a variety of astronomical phenomena.  A picture’s worth a thousand words, so this one’s worth 26,000 at my count, but really what happens here is the photographed ‘letters’ are the hook — if you click on one, you learn what the photos represent.  It’s wonderfully simple and sophisticated at the very same time.
