NASA just launched a new tool that lets you search nearly 100 years of beautiful space porn

The space agency is giving people access to more than 140,000 of its best photos, videos, and audio files.

If you're looking to effortlessly sift through decades' worth of the best space visuals, NASA now has you covered — big time.

The space agency just launched a new multimedia search engine called the NASA Image and Video Library: a collection of more than 140,000 of the NASA's most popular photos, illustrations, videos, and audio files.

The new site echoes previous (now-defunct) NASA image search tools, but with some 21st-century improvements.

The library shows you results in a Flickr-like presentation, which notes the format, file size, credit, and creation date. You can also narrow a query to a range of years, from 1920 all the way to the present.

The pages for individual files offer a download link (for scaled versions and the high-resolution original), a permanent link to the multimedia, and a tool to embed the content on other sites.

There are also tabs that show the newest additions to the library and most popular items in it.

The "most popular" results change based on how many people look at different entries, but a photo of an aurora over New Zealand as seen from space (pictured at the top of this article) and an image of the sun (below) both caught our eyes as top results.

NASA wants you to know that this vast collection "is not comprehensive, but rather provides the best of what NASA makes publicly available," according to the space agency's press release about the new tool. In other words, this doesn't include all of NASA's millions upon millions of files. (We recommend a Google site-specific search to find those.)

But NASA says this "is a living website, where new and archival images, video and audio files continually will be added."
