NSSDCA Photo Gallery |
The Photo Gallery is not NSSDCA's only resource for images. You may want to look also at:
NSSDCA's newest image catalog will eventually provide access to all of NSSDCA's
photographic archive. The focus right now is planetary images and includes several
hundred images not found elsewhere on the web.

Images and information on the impact of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 on Jupiter which
occurred in July 1994. Over 500 images from 27 observatories world-wide.

Images and information on the Chiron Perihelion Campaign. More images and information
are coming on-line as they become available.

NSSDCA also maintains extensive information in numerous science disciplines, some of which contain additional images. Among those which might be of more interest to Photo Gallery visitors are:
Fact sheets for every planet and for many minor bodies, including information on
mass, rotation and revolution periods, atmospheric composition, magnetospheric information,
and much more.

NSSDCA provides discipline-specific pages which summarize available resources at NSSDCA
for each discipline it supports. Disciplines currently supported include Space Physics,
Solar Physics, Astronomy & Astrophysics, Planetary Science, and Earth Science.
Each of these can be reached by accessing NSSDCA's home page.
