As initially discussed in another thread, here is a collection of ~5000 pictures from NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day archive. I used the same process to procure the images (a custom ahk script to rip the images to my local storage) and the sames tools to convert the original (sometimes extremely-)large files down to what is contained in the linked archive below.
The file is a 7-zip archive (7-zip is
available here).
Archive File Name:
320x240 NASA APOD Wallpapers.7z 533 MB (559,083,920 bytes)
Composite Thumbnail
Upon review of the composite thumbnail (shows 165 thumbnails - a small illustrative sampling), you'll note that some of the images present to be duplicates. The original source had both an image that was formatted for good web-viewing, and also the original unaltered image. I felt it appropriate not to go removing either, but rather just re-size both and let you folks decide which works best for your use.
Enjoy, folks.
