The most attention-grabbing products of NASA, bar none, are the pictures and videos produced by its years and years of spectacular projects, running from frail biplanes to magnificent Moon landings to probes winging their way to the stars. This webpage is a collection of resources for finding pictures, videos, and other imagery. Registered Library patrons can obtain videos through submitting a research request or an interlibrary loan request.
Databases

selected by the NASA History Office. Images are arranged
by subject and NASA center and offered in a range of
sizes.
Hubble Gallery
- A database of Hubble images .
Image
Collections, Johnson Space Center - Links to many
searchable NASA photography and video sites at JSC and
a few other sources.
Image
Gallery, Dryden Flight Research Center - This archive
contains digitized images, movies, and drawings of many
of the unique research aircraft flown from the 1940s
to the present at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center.
Image
Gallery, Glenn Research Center - This collection
is maintained by the GRC Public Affairs office and includes
images of GRC's facilities, technology, aircraft, people
and space flight operations support.

images from Hubble and other astronomical missions maintained
by the Space Telescope Science Institute.
NASA CORE (Central Operation
of Resources for Teachers) - NASA CORE is a worldwide
distribution center for NASA multimedia educational
materials. For a nominal fee, CORE will provide educators
with materials through its mail order service. CORE
is jointly sponsored by NASA and the Lorain County Joint
Vocational School in Oberlin, Ohio.
NIX (NASA Image eXchange)
- The NASA Technical Report Server "adopted" the collection of the NIX. You can use the search tools of the NTRS to find the image or photo that you want.
Planetary Data System,
Jet Propulsion Lab - Images, data sets, and animations.
Video
Repository, Johnson Space Center - Search by subject
or scene list or browse by series title. Includes ordering
information.
Visualization
of Remote Sensing Data (VRSD) - The visualizations
are derived from satellite data which has been color-enhanced
or otherwise processed to yield high-impact renderings
of hurricanes and other natural phenomena. Because of
this processing, these images should be viewed more
as works of art than as raw data suitable for quantitative
analysis. VRSD is an outgrowth of a past NASA program,
Public Use of Remote Sensing Data (RSD).
Welcome
to the Planets, Jet Propulsion Lab - Images and
facts about the planets.
Websites
Astronomy
Picture of the Day (APOD) - Each day a new image
or photograph is featured. A searchable archive of past
pictures is available too.

& Technical Diagrams - Mercury, Gemini, Apollo,
Skylab and the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project.
Earth Observatory
- This NASA Goddard Space Flight Center site offers
new satellite imagery and scientific information about
our home planet focusing on Earth's climate and environmental
change. "Materials published on the Earth Observatory
are freely available for re-publication or re-use, except

Controls allow you to set time and date, viewpoint,
observing location, orbital elements to track an asteroid
or comet, and a variety of other parameters."
Solar System
Simulator, Jet Propulsion Lab - Creates images of
objects in the solar system based your selected spacecraft/planet/moon
and date.
