NASA's image and video library gives public access to out-of-this-world material

NASA has officially launched a new source to help the public search and download out-of-this-world images. dubbed the NASA image and video library, space fanatics will now be able to browse through more than 140,000 NASA images, videos and audio files from across the agency’s many missions in aeronautics, astrophysics, earth science, human spaceflight and more.

‘a sky view of earth from suomi NPP’

consolidating imagery spread across more than 60 collections into one searchable location, the NASA image and video library allows users to browse the agency’s most recently uploaded files, as well as discover historic images. the website, which displays the metadata associated with the images, includes features like: automatic interface scaling for mobile phones and tablets, display of EXIF/camera data, and high resolution images among others.

‘hubble sees a horsehead of a different color’

even though the library is not comprehensive, it still provides the best of what NASA makes publicly available from a single point of presence on the web. additionally, it is a living website where new and archival images, videos and audio files will be continually added.
