Spacecam has pulled together some of the most striking images from the preceding 40 years, and present them here as a record of NASA's achievements in space in that time. It has been an extraordinary period of discovery, with the promise of much more to come, and the pictures here, while giving us so much vital scientific information, are also united by their great beauty. To see them is to acknowledge our own vulnerability, and the place of Earth within the vast expanse of the solar system.
