On every NASA mission to space loads of photos, videos and audio recordings are collected. Now the more than 140,000 files are available to the public. NASA's Image and Video Library is searchable and contains a variety of photos from nebulas and black holes to the moon walk and launches.

NASA's image search archive contains new and old archival content that is finally organized and available. Users can even embed the photos in their own sites. The photos above are some of the most incredible and most popular from the database.

However, NASA clarifies that, "The library is not comprehensive, but rather provides the best of what NASA makes publicly available from a single point of presence on the web." Either way, the photos are incredible and offer views of the universe.
