### Putting Images in Context
Most observational astronomy has the unique feature of having a specific
map space to which the data are attached: the celestial sphere. As such, it makes sense for us to attach our images to locations. The AstroExplorer tool (cite) and the [ADS All Sky Survey](http://adsass.org) can allow images to be treated as data, in the sense that they can be "put back" on the Sky in context. Here's a sample, using an image from Barnard that is 100 years old (update). Click the caption's link to see it on the Sky in WorldWide Telescope.
