While National Geographic can easily be considered the place to go if you’re looking for photos of life on Earth, if you’re interested in what’s happening away from our planet you’ll have to turn to NASA. And thanks to a partnership with the non-profit Internet Archive, accessing NASA’s image and video libraries just got a whole lot easier. The NASA Images website went live this past week, and features 21 NASA image collections merged into a massive and easily searchable online resource.
Over the next 5 years the partnership will see millions of photos and thousands of hours of video added to the site including imagery from the Apollo missions, the Hubble Space Telescope and experimental aircraft and spacecraft spanning NASA’s history. Unfortunately while the site appears to be getting hit pretty hard at the moment (in other words it’s almost unusably slow) it does appear to be well laid out and will most likely end up occupying a good chunk of my weekend.

I’m very grateful for having learned about this site from NASA. Thanks Much!
By the way, I came to your site through a viewing of the PayPerPost site which I’m also interested in.
Have a Good One…
Maybe someone will catch something interesting in one of the photos……….. 🙂
Interesting post. I have made a twitter post about this. Hope others find it as interesting as I did.
