Space can be beautiful. From the colorful formation of new stars within a nebula, to solar flares that burst into liquid bubbles, the science that makes up the universe is art.
These 20 wallpapers capture the mystery and beauty of our galaxy and beyond. Some iconic images you'll recognize -- our bright blue Earth or history's most famous moonwalker, for example.
Other images may be your first glimpse at a space phenomena. Many of these photos came from Hubble, a telescope that orbits our planet, snapping the deepest views of space that we have ever seen. When you look at these wallpapers of stars that are billions of light-years away, you are essentially looking back in time. And really, we couldn't think of a better distraction to have during your workday.
