Wow, hi Pradeep, I'm a fellow Sri-Lankan too , I recognised the name as Sri-Lankan in a blink! Awesome, I don't recall any other Sri-Lankans on here.
Thanks Susy! Proud to be a Sri Lankan

My all time best image is the New Horizons pass by Jupiter and Io.

The image has it all - volcano on Io, eruption, cloud, Jupiter's great red spot ... the kind of thing you cannot believe is out there, but is.

Early in the Cassini mission when The Lord of the Rings was all the rage in movie theatres NASA release a very large (many megabytes) mosaic of the full face of Saturn and rings with the title "The REAL Lord of the Rings"

My Google-fu is failing me and I can't seem to find the image you're talking about, if you have a link I'd love to see it

Also reminded me of this great image of a slice of Saturn's rings:

There are many really interesting images taken from space. Some very spectacular ones indeed. Ranging from those already mentioned to images of the Sun, exploration of planets and probing the depths of the cosmos; but for me the images taken by the Apollo astronauts on the surface of another body are the most special. We as a species explored a place in space and came home to tell the story. We as a species have been there and I wonder when we as a species will go back. Those images are the most special because humans have a direct connection with those images. All the rest in my opinion are just images taken of objects in space as lovely as they are.
