Do you have the 3rd one in 1920x1200?

Right now, I have been trolling NASA's picture of the day archive for wallpapers. Probably one of the best sources for cool, ultra-big resolution wallpaper out there.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #25 on:** January 28, 2008, 08:57:52 PM »

Here's a few more, some are probably not considered 'widescreen' but scale fine:

(low res, but scales fine)

The following are nice but suffer from some artifacting due to over-zealous jpeg compression

That's all I have thats worth mentioning...so far.

I've been using your third one as my background for about two weeks now--it was the first time I've changed my background in about 5 years.
