                           Astronomy Picture of the Day   
      
       Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our   
         fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation   
                       written by a professional astronomer.

       A black and white line drawing depicts a person peering outside of a   
      spherical room into a greater universe. Please see the explanation for   
                            more detailed information.

                   Image Credit: Unknown, possibly C. Flammarion   
      
      Explanation: Wouldn't it be fun to color in the universe? If you think   
      so, please accept this famous astronomical illustration as a   
      preliminary substitute. You, your friends, your parents or children,   
      can print it out or even color it digitally. While coloring, you might   
      be interested to know that even though this illustration has appeared   
      in numerous places over the past 100 years, the actual artist remains   
      unknown. Furthermore, the work has no accepted name -- can you think of   
      a good one? The illustration, first appearing in a book by Camille   
      Flammarion in 1888, is frequently used to show that humanity's present   
      concepts are susceptible to being supplanted by greater truths.
