What space images do you think aren't getting enough attention in the mainstream press?

This thread can serve as a counterweight to this one:

Wow what a great idea!

Apollo 12 and Conrad have always been personal faves to me, and here is http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a12/a12.cdrcuf08.jpg from that flight that hasn't really been featured in the mainstream press, and another acronym for those who aren't familiar with it to google: NSFW

I always liked the MIR shots - seem more old school than the ISS pictures - 2 pics that have served me well as wallpaper are:

This is going to be a great thread - hoping everyone will contribute some "rare" gems!

Sometimes even space can seem comforting.

MIR!
That station was a http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/9807/mir_sts89_big.jpg of George Lucas' "used future" concept.
And what a thriller was life onboard, at times.

An while we're at "hills & valleys", here's a " http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/a17/as17-139-21204.jpg"

Astronomy Picture of the Day turns 11 years old and they celebrated with an
interesting collage of images, with a Mars Rover for a base.
