The title pretty much does the work, give us the greatest space picture.
Not necessarily historic pictures just a great photographic thing (couldn't find a word)
If admins think this is in the wrong spot feel free to switch i wasn't sure either.

Ones that require a bit more explanation and the marvel (IMO) is in the taking, not the beauty of the final image.

For me, pretty much anything that comes from over 150 km altitude is amazing.
