NASA Images
The NASA, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, partnered up with the well respected
Internet Archive to provide access to a huge collection of pictures and videos of a total of 21 different collections. The non profit organization will administrate the collection which is expected to go live in the coming week.
Lo and Behold the official website
NASA Images is already online and everyone can take a sneak peak of what the website has to offer. It feels a bit crowded over there currently though with many users receiving a dreaded “NASA Images is experiencing high load, please wait 30 seconds and reload.” message instead of images and videos that they came to see.
The user can search the website by keywords, use one of the four major pillars of the website (Universe, Solar System, Earth Astronauts) or enter the website by clicking on one of the missions that are presented in a timeline on the main page.
Plans are to integrate the NASA Images website seamlessly with the main NASA website to provide visitors the best possible interaction between the image archive and the rest of the public NASA information.
NASA Images is definitely a wonderful space for space buffs but also students, historians and researchers throughout the world.
