Hi all, hope someone can help. I'm working on some ideas that need a world map and globe as major elements but keep getting a bunch of conflicting information about source material. Is it easier to just use illustrator and create my own or does anyone know for sure where I can get a readymade one.
thanks |

SS does not accept NASA images anymore.
Extract from image restrictions
NASA (including Visible Earth)
•An online catalog of NASA images and animations.
•At this time we are not accepting content created using elements/images from NASA sources.

Wow. So if I submit a photo with two hand holding the milky way, it gets dinged? |

Apparently. They always used to accept providing that it only formed part of the design. It is not as if we can go and take our own photos from space.

I'm not sure that's entirely true -- it appears as though they are accepting them, but it looks like many of them are writing "Elements of this image furnished by NASA" in their title.
This is brand new:

I have a few accepted but from a couple of years ago. I am just going by shutterbuzz. I hope they are continuing to accept elements.

Hi Guys!
I am not so sure that this policy with title tag "Furnished by NASA" is OK.
You can read why I think it is not ok:
http://visibleearth.nasa.gov/useterms.php
Nevertheless, there is also credit tag given on the bottom page of any single image. So, I think it is valid to use that.
I am not sure that titling image with that tag is ok. It should be at the end of image description.
Policy is one thing - and correct way of crediting imagery source is completely other thing.
As I remember, few years ago when I used some NASA map vectors by Tinka Sloss, I had some problems with some agencies. Then I wrote to NASA and got their reply where they said it is OK to use that imagery for anything.
Time pases, policies change... But, still as I've read there are some images which can be used under terms given on NASA site.
So, we need to check what are those terms and do exactly as NASA noted.
Well... For some images we need to credit NASA because still we don't have enough budgets to go up to space and photograph earth ;-)
Cheers! |
