NASA Launches New Interactive Image Collections

POSTED July 28, 10:58 AM

Do you love photos of space, rockets, astronauts, launches, all the hardware, and the galaxy? Then take a look at NASA's newest venture: nasaimages. org It's newly-opened, and I've added it to my Super 7 links on the left.

In 2007, NASA entered into a Space Act agreement with the Internet Archive to create this incredible image library. The project, which is not funded by tax dollars, is right now supported by a grant from the Kahle-Austin Foundation.

When you land on the home page, you'll find the black void of space, looking back at Earth. Superimposed are four interactive photos representing the major categories: Universe, Solar System, Earth, and Astronauts.

At the bottom of the page is a an easy, interactive banner with multple pop-up min-screens. You can browse backwards through the history of the space program, or take a tour of the Solar System. The site is easy to navigate.

Larry,

You'll find this interesting: http://www.examiner.com/x-504-Space-News-Examiner

This is written by a friend of mine, an ex-PIO (Public Information Officer) who worked at NASA. After you read about NASA's Image Collections, scroll to the bottom ("Welcome To Space News at The Examiner") and click on "Read More". Amazing stuff!

I was searching through the NASA Image Collections web site over the weekend and it's nothing short of amazing. Enjoy!

Dan

It is based on one of Sir Arthur C. Clarke's short stories, Maelstrom II.
Sir Arthur turned 90 on 16th December, 2007,  and lives in Sri Lanka.

     Inventing the Future

In the darkness of space, European Space Agency astronaut Hans Schlegel
participates in the mission's second spacewalk as construction and
maintenance continue on the International Space Station. During the
six-hour, 45-minute spacewalk, Schlegel and NASA astronaut Rex Walheim
(out of frame) worked to replace a nitrogen tank used to pressurize the
station's ammonia cooling system.
