The BBC hosts a ton of really stunning high-def content that is completely free and viewable on Linux.

Oh, and NASA also have some HD videos up as well

How are you viewing these in Linux. Every time I click on something from the bbc site it tells me I do not have quicktime installed.

if you can download the clips, vlc as well as other programs will display them. Some web designers (or their benefactors) are tighter than others about letting you download the media.
