Every time we run a "Month in Space" roundup of cosmic images, we get e-mail from readers asking where they can see the original, downloadable pictures that were adapted for the slideshow. So here's a list of links to further details about the images, plus bigger versions.

I know it probably has to do with some copyright thing, but it sure is frustrationg not to be able to save a great photo when you see it.  Most MSNBC slide shows are usually very good!  The only one I didn't like was the one on the Three Gorges damn.  Here we had one of the grandest engineering projects on earth completed (which many thought would never happen) and only two of 20 pictures were of the damn itself.  The rest focused on its negative impacts as if the floods it would help prevent weren't also important.  I'll bet the newly constructed towns that were built were pretty nice as well, compared to the ones that got inundated by the reservour...
