Very interesting and good looking! Only a small comment: using images under Creative Commons licensing is not as simple as grabbing the image and using it as you please. Both your top [1] and bottom [2] images are licensed with the BY clause, meaning you must give appropriate credit.

- hyperknot 11y agoSorry, it was on my todo list, I'll update them as soon as possible!
- swah 11y agoWell played, I'd do the same..
- mmishu 11y agoHow did you figure that out?
- JorgeGT 11y agoI recognized the JAXA ship of the bottom image and it amused me for a bit that they chose a pic of a cargo ship instead of an imaging satellite. Then it was a matter of reverse image search, usually public space images are CC-BY so I figured I should mention that so they don't get into trouble for something easily fixable.
- hyperknot 11y agoThank you for raising my attention to the missing attribution links, I have added them for both pictures including the correct license type.
- JorgeGT 11y agoYou're welcome! It's a small detail but better safe than sorry with these kind of issues.
- pcl 11y agoThis is a bit off-topic, but I'm surprised that the NASA image is listed as CC-BY. I was under the impression that NASA imagery was public domain by default. Their website [1] says "NASA content [...] generally are not copyrighted." It then goes on to say that "NASA should be acknowledged as the source of the material." IANAL, but I would assume that if the data is not copyrighted, then there's no need to attribute the source, making that "should" pretty toothless.

- JorgeGT 11y agoNote the "generally" there. Further down it says explicitly "NASA material is not protected by copyright unless noted". In their Flickr page they have selected the CC BY-NC 2.0 license so this works, I think, as a notice of copyright that at the same time grants you a license to use the image (provided you follow the terms of said license).
- maxerickson 11y agoIf it is a work of NASA itself, it shouldn't be subject to copyright. Wikimedia has noticed their assertions: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikilegal/NASA_images https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikilegal/NASA_images It's easy to imagine that NASA has more limited rights to reproduce and redistribute images produced by their partners though, and they have lots of partners.
