Dan sent me a note about NASA's new look for their image archive (see note below) and I thought I would pass some of the info.

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.
snipThanks for looking up with me.

Larry,
You'll find this interesting: http://www.examiner.com/x-504-
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!
