NASA ALLOWS THE FREE DOWNLOAD OF MORE THAN 140,000 IMAGES OF THE GALAXY

It is a real privilege for certain organizations and institutions to make available to users the audiovisual content that forms part of their archives in favor of an open and accessible culture for all.

It is vital that access to culture does not always cost money since it is a right that we all have, and it is also necessary for the traditional physical library to evolve towards the virtual library without one ending up replacing the other, but with the objective of expand the range of those who can access their funds.

In this natural and virtual evolution that in recent years has suffered the way we access information, we have been fortunate to enjoy wonderful and exclusive documentation that has seen the light thanks to the Internet era.

Imagine the amount of archives and libraries that had treasures guarded between their four walls and that can now be contemplated by the work and grace of digitization.

The Hubble Space Telescope, the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory produced a trio of images of the central region of our Milky Way.

Among those hidden treasures was the entire galaxy, the infinite cosmos photographed and engraved in all the splendor that the millions of stars, planets, milky ways and nebulae that make it.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( NASA ) has taken the initiative to create a library with 140,000 high-definition files that include photos, videos and sound clips, all free and available to download.

To select the magical and mysterious material that we want to download, this space library offers searches delimited by material and dates as well, the visual and audio content of planets, moons and specific space missions can be searched by file type and includes the temporal arc of the last hundred years.

Users can limit searches to focus on any time period between 1920 and 2019.

The Hubble Space Telescope captures the "Mystic Mountain" in the Carina Nebula.

This view of Jupiter was taken by Voyager 1. This image was taken through color filters and recombined to produce the color image.

In addition, each file contains a complete legend that includes the date and contextual information about the content.

Surely many of our ancestors dreamed of having the universe in the palm of their hand; We can now make your dream come true with a click, we can even "lower" the moon.
