NASA Image Archive Screensaver
The NASA Image Archive screensaver shows a slideshow through NASA's public image library, read key-less from its own search API. Distinct from Astronomy Picture of the Day, which shows one curated image daily; this browses by subject. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
