Mars

For those who don't watch NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day like hawks, this is a rather pretty picture of Mars (warning for non-broadband-enabled: 250kb image, likely to take 50+ seconds to download on a 56k modem)

The honking great gouge in the middle is Valles Marineris, (which makes the Grand Canyon look like a teeny little scratch) and three of the Tharsis volcanos are visible at the left.
