Ask HN: What's Your Desktop Background?

I have a small collection of images: "Earth in the Background". It's currently only four images, each different photographs from spacecraft and landers that includes the Earth. The real obvious ones include the original and revisited (2020) Pale Blue Dot photos from the Voyager 1 mission. Closer to home, there is Blue Marble (Apollo 17) and Earthrise (Apollo 8). My favorites are a view of the horizon on Mars night with Earth and the moon faintly visible in the sky (Curiosity). There's also a good one from Cassini that includes Saturn's rings and Earth, but it makes the screen look cracked. Anyways, I never really think much about this collection, and throw one on whenever I get a new machine. I prefer quiet backgrounds, nothing too noisy or flashy - I've even had solid colored backgrounds for many years. What do you use for your desktop background / wallpaper?
