Credits for Resources and Images within Windows to the Universe

One of the objectives of Windows to the Universe is to bring together information and resources from scientific, artistic, historical, and cultural sources. We are attempting to build a site that is rich both in information content as well as filled with a wealth of relevant images. We have endeavoured to obtain copyright clearance and all relevant permissions for the use of the images included here which are not in the public domain. We offer our sincere apologies to anyone whom we may have unknowingly left out in this search for clearance. Please use our comments form to inform us of any additional clearances that may be needed. We would like to thank the many individuals and institutions who have given us permission to use their images, movies, and data. As resources continue to be added to Windows, this list of credits will continue to grow. Continue exploring Windows to the Universe.
