This week NASA became the latest organisation to share its 'no known copyright restrictions' images via Flickr.
Bumper V-2 Launch. Photo from NASA on The Commons on Flickr - No known copyright restrictions.
There are only 180 NASA images available via The Commons on Flickr so far - and all have been previously accessible via the NASA Images website, which has hundreds of thousands of images and thousands of hours of video and audio available to the public - but by adding images to The Commons on Flickr NASA hopes its media will "reach an even wider audience and invite that audience to help tell the story of these photos by adding tags, or keywords, to the images to identify objects and people".
It's also worth pointing out that in addition to The Commons and NASA Images, NASA has a number of other accounts on Flickr with thousands more images available under Creative Commons licences.
