The universe is vast, beautiful, and deadly.  Pilots flying through the EVE universe may from time to time take a screen capture of something that catches their eye.  A brand new ship or ship's skin, your ship in an interstellar fleet, a never-before-seen Keepstar, a unique shipwreck floating in space, a beautiful planet on fire.
