Default Bad Astronomy Wallpapers

The Bad Astronomy website is great. However, the website has one serious omission: there are no computer wallpapers. So I decided to make some of my own. I hope you like them.

The resolutions are what I think are the most common computer resolutions today. If you are using a monitor with a resolution other than one of these, let me know and I can make additional resolutions. I still have the extremely high-resolution originals, so I can make bigger versions easily. Any other suggestions regarding the wallpapers are also welcome.


The first one should be pretty obvious. It is based on BA's book. It is actually from a scan I made of the cover of my copy. I seperated the text, repositioned it, and added a few things to make it suitable as a wallpaper. I had to change some colors where text crossed color boundaries.

The next is a parody of Hoagland and his followers. It consitutes definitive proof from Opportunity that intelligent life had made it to Mars before us.

The final is a parody of the "moon hoax" theorists. Once again, it is definitive photographic proof of their opinion that the Apollo 11 moon landings were faked.

Enjoy!
