Hi all,

I thought we should have a thread with all the major-publication publicized images and APOD's made by UMSF members. We really bring Space to the public and we should be proud of it!

I would like for each entry to contain:

1) a <100kb photo of the image itself + its name.
2) a link to the real-size image.
3) the UMSF user name(s) of the creators.
4) a link to the UMSF thread(s) where the image is presented/discussed.

I want to list the images chronologically, so if you can help me out with thread contributions in the above-described format, I'll insert those contributions to this first posting.

Thanks a lot, and here goes:

Remember, this thread is a work in progress, help me out here!

There must also be Cassini images I don't know about... So, add your info to this thread!

The Outreach resource website Astro0 is referring to can easily accommodate the indexing of such images and it can be searched by keyword etc. Since it's a ground-up design, it can also be modified. Thus indexing the images is definitely possible, I am just not sure how many supersized images it can hold on the server and bandwidth issues. The webhost as such is quite good but some of the images can be rather large
