For an image subreddit with fewer restrictions, check out /r/misc!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Oh, I know. I recently finished a paper for NASA NCAS, so I'm in the space mood. Seven hours of reading .pdfs and cross-referencing.

As a lover of everything about space, I applaud you....

My signature is also etched onto one of the processor casings inside MSL (Curiosity). JPL had a book to sign on their complex, whose signatures got etched into a processor casing separate from that of the one used for the online signatures.

Having seen it in person, it's an absolutely magnificent machine; it's easily the size of a compact car. The fact that my name is etched somewhere on it, and is en route to Mars, never fails to blow my mind.

How the hell did you take that photo? Where were you? Is that arc of light on the right the edge of a window?

This was most likely taken by a crew member in either a Russian Soyuz capsule or one of the last Shuttle flights. I know STS-135 (the last mission, flown by Atlantis) went up with the intention of taking a large amount of pictures, so it's possible the photo is from that mission.

It was taken by a crew member on Discovery, STS-119 back in 2009. Link

For the other photos, you might be referring to this set taken of Endeavour (STS-134) docked to the ISS as Soyuz TMA-20 undocked last year. They take my breath away every time I look at them.

I was looking at it for a few seconds thinking it was clothes pegs on a washing line!
