I always wish that it was a little easier to find the pages with high resolution downloads of all these amazing NASA telescope and rover images.

It'd be great if they could create one central repository that all of them would go to for people to look through.

Is pretty good. Can filter by mission, instrument, or target. Resolution is kind of hit or miss, as a lot of it is raw or minimally processed, but that is part of the fun.

is this for just jpl missions or all of NASA?

That's a great resource! Thank you for sharing.

Am I missing something, or is 1663x1663 the best resolution available?

Images hosted by NASA are available to make prints from. Tax dollars funded the images, so the images are made available to the public. If it is hosted from somewhere else where they took the data from NASA and did their own work on it, there could be copyright issues protecting their work. So, find all of the amazing images you like made available by NASA's, and then make your own posters!

that'd be really cool! it's an amazing photo
