A simple Python script to scrape NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS) website and download images of the Moon.

I found these images from this article (HackerNews discussion). Direct link to images is here.

Image paths are scraped via scrape_paths.py script and saved to images.txt.

For all scripts:

• Python 2.7
• urllib2

To run lunar_scrape.py (the main script), you'll need:

• pathlib2
• multiprocessing

To run find_paths.py, you'll need:

• functools
• itertools
• bs4 (BeautifulSoup)

To download all images, run:

python lunar_scrape.py

This will download all images to the /images directory, flattening them into a single directory.

To preserve the original directory, run:

python lunar_scrape.py --preserve-dir
