The recent mission to the moon by Artemis II astronauts was memorable, inspiring, and scientifically important for so many reasons. It also brought us a treasure trove of new images and videos ready to be added to NASA's vast library of content.Consider this photo of Earth from more than 250,000 miles away, for example, taken from the other side of the moon. Or these widely shared pictures of our home planet from inside the Orion capsule, which were taken using iPhone 17 Pro Max phones. Truly out of this world snaps, but taken using a device many of us have in our pockets.These images have popped up all across social media, but what you might not know is that NASA makes its huge library of images and videos available for anyone to dig through, marvel at, and reshare.
