Great space photography o' the day

  • Happy 50th birthday, NASA! [Via]
  • The Big Picture features some excellent images of man on the Moon--both past and future.  (I've gotta get one of those ATHLETE vehicles for a future Death Valley outing.)  They also feature recent volcanic activity.
  • The Hubble recently spotted--er, spied--Jupiter's Great Red Spot eating the "Baby Red Spot."  More beautiful high-res shots of Jupiter & its moons--including amazing shots of volcanoes in action--are here.
  • VAMP, the Virtual Astronomy Multimedia Project, aims to "vastly multiply the use of, astronomy image resources... by systematically linking resource archives worldwide."  The Astronomy Visualization Metadata (AVM) standard they've devised works builds on Adobe's XMP technology.
