100 Hours of Astronomy

If you missed it, 100 Hours of Astronomy took place this weekend featuring over 1500 events and activities around the globe. There are over 50 galleries of images posted showing the weekend’s activities. Most of these galleries show people participating in watch parties around the globe. I’ll be updating this post with links to some of the better astronomy images.

The Regional Planetary Image Facility

The Center for Earth and Planetary Studies (CEPS) at the National Air and Space Museum hosts an incredible collection of over 300,000 space-related images. Only a small sampling of these images are actually available on the website, however. Nevertheless, it is a good resource for basic images of the bodies of our solar system.
