Nasa Archives Part IV
Astronaut Ed White goes for a stroll and becomes the first American to carry out a space walk in 1965.
White floated for 23 minutes outside his Gemini spacecraft and, without too much effort, managed to log in a 6,500-mile amble.
The Isles of Scilly as you've never seen them before.
A group of around 150 islands off the coast of Land's End, the archipelago is thought to have been the home for humans for 4,000 years.
Only one scientist has ever been to the moon and that was geologist Harrison Schmitt on the last ever Apollo mission - number 17 - in 1972.
Here he his coming face to face with a huge boulder found near the Valley of Tourus-Littrow on the lunar surface.
All these photos and much, much more can be found at the Nasa photo archives. If you come across anything better, please let me know.

Daniel Smith - a long time ago, in a galaxy far away just north of Watford, Daniel fancied himself as a scientist but turned out to be the worst scientist since that bloke who mapped out all those canals on Mars that turned out to be scratches on his telescope's lens. Luckily, he is now not working on the Large Hadron Collider inadvertently creating a black hole that would swallow the world but is safely behind a desk writing this blog, bringing you the fantastical underbelly of nature... weird science.
