\"\"The two great space American and European agencies (NASA and ESA) are the most active sources of top-quality space images. Even better, most of their published pictures are available nearly without constraint (at least for non-commercial uses). So, you no longer need to bring your telescope and your photo camera to see the deep end of space.<\/p>\n

On the one hand, the European Space Agency<\/em> (ESA) opens on its web site a presentation of its best pictures in a photo (and video) gallery<\/a> where I grabbed this superb view of the East coast of Greenland.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, here is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration<\/em> (NASA), which already had a web site of the same kind, just opening a Flickr group<\/a> to distribute some of its archive images coming back from the oldest sources like this solar eclipse photographed from the Apollo 12 mission.<\/p>\n

Not willing to stay behind while they have a real treasure of exceptionally good pictures of the remotest stars, the European Southern Observatory<\/em> (ESO) now has a Top 100<\/a> of pictures taken by the observatory telescopes. Like this photo of Centaurus A, a great galaxy stopped in her rotation by seevral ESO cameras in various light spectrums (visible light, X-ray, etc.)<\/p>\n
