A set of more than 300 photos from the NASA Apollo missions collected by historian J.L. Pickering are set to be auctioned and feature vintage photos and film strips, many of which are considered to be extremely rare.
The only photo captured of Neil Armstrong on the moon is up for auction along with approximately 2,400 vintage original photographs showcasing NASA's golden age of space exploration, many never seen by the public. It is the most comprehensive private collection of NASA photographs ever presented at auction.
On Tuesday, October 20th, NASA made history when the OSIRIS-REx mission successfully completed a "touch-and-go" sample collection maneuver with asteroid 101955 Bennu over 200 million miles away from Earth. And now, we have the timelapse to prove it.

NASA just launched an updated Image and Video Library website that puts the entire NASA photo archive at your fingertips, just one keyword search away. Our apologies to your productivity... you're about to do some serious procrastinating.
