Lately I’ve come across some astronomy websites I really like:

Chromoscope gives you a picture of the Milky Way and lets you adjust the wavelengths you’re viewing, so you can “see” what the galaxy looks like using wavelengths (like X-rays or microwaves) beyond the visible spectrum.

The Hubble Site Gallery, sponsored by NASA, has amazing photographs taken by the Hubble telescope (examples appear on this page).

UDF Skywalker v. 1.o, utilizes images from the Hubble telescope to produce a composite image of over 10,000 galaxies you can search.

Moon Phase, as the name suggests, has a detailed daily photo of the moon showing its current phase.

Finally, the Neave Planetarium offers an interactive star map (with constellations).
