About this Dataset

NASA Image Of The Day Dataset

Context

Every day NASA publishes an image on their Astronomy Image Of The Day page. This dataset consists of all images from 2015.01.01 up until 2022.10.03.
Some days are missing only because the uploaded files were not images but videos.

Content

images/ - Folder with all 2481 600x600 images for the period 2015.01.01 - 2022.10.03
metadata.csv - Comma separated file that has all image filenames with their respective titles and explanations. An explanation is a description of how/why/when the image was made.
scrape.py - The script that has generated the images/ folder and the metadata.csv file.

Usage Suggestions

New Image Generation - Generating new space photos, using some kind of GAN architecture
Text-To-Image Generation or Image-To-Text Generation - Training some kind of DALL-E or Stable Diffusion type of model over the dataset while making use of the column explanation or/and title
EDA - And of course you can always use it for Exploratory Data Analysis
