In case you have yet to explore the marvelously rich NASA Images Archive, above and below is a taste of what you can find there and this is absolutely nowhere near the smallest tip of the iceberg. NASA Images is “the most comprehensive compilation of NASA stills, film and video, created in partnership with Internet Archive.” Fair warning, you can easily get lost in the vortex for hours. You can also view a terrific round-up of 81 large scale images from the NASA archive at the Denver Post “plog” Captured.
