downloading web images

[Joe]

I'm just wandering if I'm doing this correct way I'm trying to download an
image and store it into a file this does the job, but created file does not
apear to be an image, it works fine and I can open image, I'm just
wandering if there is a better way of doing this. 

htmlSource=urllib.urlopen("http://www.godandscience.org/images/nebula.jpg";)
# Read from the object, storing the page's contents in 's'.
s = htmlSource.read()
htmlSource.close()
myfile = open("myfile.jpg", "w")
myfile.write(s)
myfile.close

Thanks
