Best Pictures of the Millenium:

1. Black sun: The last solar eclipse of the millennium is seen in this multiple exposure photograph as it appeared from the famous Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey, on Aug.

2. Death: Singers perform on a giant stage on Lake Constance during a rehearsal of Giuseppe Verdi's opera 'Ein Maskenball' on July 15. The design of the stage in the lake shows 'Death' reading the book of life.

3. Sound Barrier: Pilot Ron Candiloro breaks through the sound barrier in an F/A-18 Hornet fighter plane over the Pacific Ocean on July 7. The cloud ball effect is caused when forward sound waves squeeze moisture in the air.

4. Distant Galaxy: A NASA Hubble space telescope photo reveals the spiral galaxy NGC 4603, the most distant galaxy in which a special class of pulsating stars called Cepheid variables have been found.

5. Falling for color: Hundreds of cars jam a road in Nikko, Japan, on Nov. 3, as drivers slow down to admire the colorfully tinted leaves of autumn.

6. A room with a view: French jets fly over Dubai's Burj Al-Arab, the world's tallest sea-based hotel, on Nov. 12 during preparations for the Dubai Air Show.
