Material Detail

This is a concise guide to finding astronomical images on the Web.  It was created with astronomy educators in mind, but could also be of use to hobbyists. It lists 26 web sites where there are catalogs of astronomy images, from telescopes on the ground and in space. Among the catalogs are the ones for the James Webb Space Telescope, the Hubble Space Telescope, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, the Japanese Subaru telescope in Hawaii, the Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes on La Palma, and many others.  Many of the images (especially those from NASA or European Space Agency telescopes) are copyright free.
