I've been looking through NASA open data to find datasets that would best help me demo vector embeddings and searches. I've created test data with Copilot that is workable, but I'm still looking for real data options.
These could be documents, images, or data files. Since this is for a demo, I'm especially interested in concepts that would be easy for a lay person to follow quickly and to understand why the embedding "worked".
Of course, I'm open to any dataset from other space agencies or even just interesting use cases.
Can you help?

The feeling when you type, auto-in-correct and add hashtags and links to events and organisers with some photo’s, only to have the LinkedIn app go “ok byeee”.
