You see Garbo's policy is not to carry religious material at all. King James Bible certainly is religious material to the highest degree. On the other hand it can be regarded as any historical collection of stories and popular folklore by some prominent scribes of their bygone eras. Furthermore, the science religion is an academic discipline and this excellently programmed utility with its fine interface clearly is designed for serious research instead of religiously motivated aims. Thus, after some soul searching, if you pardon the pun, I decided to accept this upload.

They have a serious educational goal, that is getting the users interested in the world and the universe around us, and make us want to learn more about natural sciences. I have tried to select to Garbo astronomy images which are both pleasing to watch and contain related text information. Unfortunately, there is much spectacular material in circulation which lacks the information text. Therefore, I have added some information myself within these gifs.
