Web Site of the Week: NASAimages.org
Posted by: Christine Bulson
Although the Space Shuttle Program ended this week, there will still be photographs of other NASA projects. NASAimages.org is a partnership of NASA and the Internet Archive. It contains photos and video of all aspects of NASA’s work both current and historical. You may search for images by keyword or broad subject headings – earth, universe, solar system, aeronautics, astronauts or a spaceflight timeline. Images include the collection it is from, the title and a detailed description. A few notable examples are “Earth’s San Andreas Fault,” “Earthrise” from Apollo 8 in 1968 and a series of pictures of metropolitan New York City on September 11, 2001 taken from the International Space Station at an altitude of 250 miles. This is another internet resource that provides information that never was easily available ten years ago.
