"History of the Universe in a Single Image"

"Some of the flecks of light in this two-million-second exposure, released last week, are infant galaxies emerging from the gloom only half a billion years after the Big Bang; their light has been on the way to us for 13.2 billion years." (via nytimes)

also: a more in depth article from national geographic and an awesome and somewhat related explanation on the existence of infinity.

August Strindberg- Celestographs

Images from the 1890's created by placing photographic plates on the ground or a window sill and exposing them to a night sky, sometimes while already in the developer. The photographs offer a double view of stars or possibly dirt and atmospheric particles present during exposure/developing. They were described as a "physical collaboration with weather" here.
