This ought to be in the reference section I guess but... This :-

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html

is the popular "Astro Image of the Day" which is a large selection of the best of NASA's images including lots of planets, nebula etc. All NASA pics (without peoples faces) are deemed free to use.

A few matted clips of these can make some 'stellar' space scenes.

Edit -- Actually, todays (Mar 18 200 is a bit of a doozy !
