FWIW, I used WWW to (one of) the JPL sites and acquired some pics.  The 
filenames were like:  L29882.HTML

So far most of them have been just okay.  Nothing to write home about.  
BTW the file I listed is a pic of the Earth and Moon together.  I think 
it was taken by the Galileo probe on a close flyby.  It looks neat, but 
because of the position of the moon in its orbit it makes the moon look 
much closer to the Earth than it really is.
