Latest Images

Whenever new content is added, the corresponding images are added to the Latest Images section.  The Latest Images section contains a selection of 30 of the most recently added images. All searches return images in the reverse chronological order that they were uploaded to this website. That order may rarely differ from the exact publication date.

Searching

You can begin your search by using the search bar in the site header or using the search facets to the left of the image content space.  Any combination of search parameters can be entered to refine or broaden a search.  Search terms and authors are taken from the parent journal article of the images selected.  Finding all images from an article is as simple as entering the article's DOI or using the facets to select the journal, volume, issue, and page or article number.

If you are having problems finding images by searching on a phrase you can use the 'search within box' which appears below the general search box.  For example, if you wish to narrow results on a search such as 'Small Magellanic Cloud', you could initially search the term 'magellanic'.  Then using the search within box, filter your results using the term 'cloud'.

Updated Search and Sort

We have updated the search and sort algorithm to return records in reverse chronological order based on the date/time that the images were uploaded to the Astronomy Image Explorer. This is potentially but rarely different from the publication date. Thank you!
