Yes you can. Here are a few good sites to get some hi-res photos:
https://archive.org/ - search for "shuttle" or a particular astronaut such as "Bruce McCandless"
http://tothemoon.ser.asu.edu/gallery/gemini - Search under Gemini 4, Gemini 9, Gemini 11, and Gemini 12 for EVA photos.
http://www.hq.NASA.gov/alsj/frame.html - Contains all the photos shot by the Apollo astronauts on the lunar surface. Click on each mission then look under "Image Library" under the right tab for that mission's photos.

Why are astronauts floating above the Earth in a Space Shuttle really no weightless?
Weight is an expression of the gravitational force acting on an object. When the space shuttle is in orbit around the Earth, it is held there by the Earth's gravity. Since gravity is still acting on the shuttle and the astronauts inside, they still have weight. They are described as "weightless" because an object in orbit is in a constant state of free fall.
Why astronauts use centrifugation technique in space?
In a free fall environment, you do not have gravity to separate things for you, so a centrifuge is a workable alternative.
Where can one find free pictures of stars?
There are a number of websites where one can find free pictures of the stars. One may wish to visit the websites Hubble Site, Space Telescope, and Universe Today.
Do astronauts have weight in space?
Any object that has mass has weight even in space. If an astronaut weighs 195 pounds while standing on the planet then he/she will also weigh 195 pounds while in space. Earths gravity, which determined the weight, will exert the same force on this astronaut because the mass is the same. While in space, it may appear the astronaut is "floating", he/she is actually in free fall. What this means is, as they travel around the planet they are in reality "falling" to Earth but, for every inch they fall, the planet move an inch out of their way.
Why do astronauts appear to be floating even though they are still in orbit?
They are essentially in a state of permanent free-fall. Their ship is falling to earth at the same rate as the curve of the earth is falling away form them; ergo continually falling. It has nothing to do anything 'anti-gravity'.
Which of these is an example of free fall?
an astronaut floating in a space ship
Why astronauts fly in space?
they are not actually flying they r in continous free fall

Pictures of salvinia?
Here's some pictures of salvinia, but I have no idea what this has to do with animals. We can't show pictures here. This is a free floating fern native to South America.
Are astronauts weightless in orbit?
As there is no gravity in space, everything will float........... Because They're in free fall ........
Does an object floating far in space have any mass?
It will have the same mass no matter where the object is: free floating out in space or on a planet or on a powerful rocket rapidly accelerating.What will be different is weight, which is only observed while the object is experiencing forces: free floating out in space the object has no weight, but either sitting on a planet or accelerating on a powerful rocket the object does have weight.
When was Free Floating created?
Free Floating was created in 2006.
What is space between particles of soil is called?
Normally free floating particles and gases such as oxygen, nitrogen etc.
Are astronauts in space shuttle in free fall?
It's called micro gravity but basically yes. They are just falling around the planet.
