Yes! NASA's photography is (amazingly enough) released into the public domain for you to do whatever you'd like with — as long as you don't imply endorsement. But remember: many pictures of launches or of objects in the sky are taken by private professional photographers, so just because something is a space thing doesn't mean it's in the public domain.

It actually keeps going a little bit, but I wanted to keep it to the timeline of the mission itself.

I don't know! Some of the photos were marked in the metadata or on Flickr as having a particular photographer, but most were just labeled as "Artemis Crew."

If you just want to see photographs taken by the crew — rather than photos taken on the ground or robotically — you can click that button.

There were three professional Nikon cameras onboard: two D5s and a Z9. They're great in low light and have a bunch of swappable lenses. The GoPros were on the exterior of the spacecraft, and some photos were just taken with an iPhone!

Weirdly, several places! The Johnson Space Center Flickr had the bulk of them, while the NASA HQ Photo Flickr had some launch and splashdown images. NASA's Artemis II media page had yet others, and various videos were pulled from social media.

It's a manual process, but yes — I'm keeping it current!

I'm Hank Green, I make science content! I just got obsessed with these photos and wanted to make a thing.
