For astronomical images, you can’t do better than the "Astronomy
Picture of the Day" website,
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html. Not only does this
have a fabulous archive of the most amazing pictures (and a new one
every day), each image also has links to many other interesting sites
where you can follow up the topic. I’ve used APOD as the source for
many of the images here, mostly because it’s so convenient
NASA has a site called "Imagine the Universe",
http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/index.html which is a good place to start
for finding out about all things astronomical. It also has excellent
links to other places on the Web to find information.
"Imagine the Universe" has a nice page about the electromagnetic spectrum:
http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/science/know_l1/emspectrum.html
For more galaxies and other objects in many wavelengths, take a look at IPAC’s "The Multiwavelength Astronomy Gallery", http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/cosmic_classroom/multiwavelength_astronomy/multiwavelength_museum/; or the "Multiwavelength Milky Way", http://mwmw.gsfc.nasa.gov/
Mike Brown, the discoverer of Eris, has an excellent blog about scale in the Solar System, and how hard it is to depict planetary scales accurately, at
http://www.mikebrownsplanets.com/2009/08/planetary-placemats.html
There’s a lovely book on the same topic: "Sizing up the Universe: The cosmos in perspective" by J. Richard Gott and Robert J. Vanderbei (National Geographic, 2011). It’s like a meditation about size and scale, and the centrepiece is their "Logarithmic Map of the Universe" – a version of which can be found at
http://www.astro.princeton.edu/universe/ (though not as pretty). xkcd has a similar idea in the cartoon just called "Height" http://xkcd.com/482/
The Galaxy Zoo project is a "citizen science" project where members of the public assist in research by classifying galaxies observed in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey:
http://www.galaxyzoo.org/. There are other associated projects: classifying features on the Moon (https://www.zooniverse.org/project/moonzoo),
finding planets around other stars (https://www.zooniverse.org/project/planethunters), and classifying Hubble galaxy pictures (https://www.zooniverse.org/project/hubble)
