Astronomy 162

Electronic Images & Graphics

The links below lead to indexes of electronic images and line drawing I have collected/created/scanned for use in Astronomy 162. Sizes indicate the total size of the images on the thumbnail sheets. There is a similar image collection for Astronomy 161. The collection currently contains 1146 images.

These images are provided without annotation, although the names are usually suggestive of the subject and sometimes the source. All are in either GIF or JPG format.

Many of these images are in the public domain (e.g., NASA imaging). NOAO, AAT, and UK Schmidt telescope images are all courtesy of the respective institutions. If you want to use an AAT or UKS images on your own webpages, they ask that you seek permission first (see their copyright terms for details). NOAO, STScI, Chandra, and NASA et al. usually ask that you acknowledge the image source on your pages. Some of the line drawings are originals rendered in PowerPoint and then turned into GIFs (see my original graphics page for the originals). In all cases please give credit if using on webpages, and refer requests for copies to the original sources. If in doubt, just ask, I can usually remember the source.
