NASA on Tuesday (March 28) unveiled a new online library that assembles the agency's amazing space photos, videos and audio files into a single searchable library.
The NASA Image and Video Library, as the agency calls it, can be found at http://images.nasa.gov and consolidates space imagery from 60 different colletions[sic] into one location.
"NASA Image and Video Library allows users to search, discover and download a treasure trove of more than 140,000 NASA images, videos and audio files from across the agency's many missions in aeronautics, astrophysics, Earth science, human spaceflight, and more," NASA officials wrote in a statement. "Users can browse the agency's most recently uploaded files, as well as discover historic and the most popularly searched images, audio files and videos."
The new database allows users to embed NASA imagery in websites, includes image metadata like date, description and keywords, and offers multiple resolution sizes,

You have no idea how many times I've accidentally typed "ssh someserver.nsa.gov" by accident... If there's a "list", I'm on it.

If you're doing ssh someserver.nasa.gov you're on a list, too—hopefully the one they keep on their LDAP server.

Anybody recognize what Content Management System (CMS) they are using?
I was involved with them for a while when they were using Plone (https://plone.org/ ) for some projects but my cursory look did not indicate which platform this is built on.
FYI: They did include support for ghostery.
