Eba! NASA launches a GIF-only channel - and we've put together 15 for you to check out

Have you ever searched NASA websites? Well, if you've never been curious to poke around the various channels that the US space agency keeps on the internet, know you're missing out!

That's because, in addition to bringing a wealth of scientific articles, teaching materials, and information about everything scientists are up to - and discovering - about our planet and the universe, NASA also has a huge photographic collection.

And to further improve its reach, the space agency recently launched a channel with GIFs - those animated images that make us happy - on the GIPHY website.
