Are you @nasahubble?
Because you seem...reflective.

Okay.
It's time to get deep.
Real deep.
We live in a time when we can witness the marvels of the universe and look into the past.
We can look at the stars to learn about what we're made of.
We are made of star stuff.
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣
The hydrogen,
helium and nitrogen that formed in stars?
That also makes up our bodies and it’s how we’re connected to the Big Bang—the birth of the universe.
Our great space observatories like the Hubble Space Telescope,
the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the recently decommissioned Spitzer Space Telescope have peered millions of light-years into the past to better understand our place in the universe.
So,
the next time you gaze up at the stars,
remember this:
you are star material.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Perk of applying to #BeAnAstronaut?
One step closer to being on top of the world!
👩🏾‍🚀🌍👨🏻‍🚀⁣
⁣
Part of the job for our @NASAAstronauts is a task called spacewalking.
Spacewalking refers to any time an astronaut gets out of a vehicle while in space;
it is performed for many reasons such as completing repairs outside the @ISS,
conducting science experiments and testing new equipment.
⁣
⁣
While a demanding task (astronauts can burn up to ~2500 calories!)
it provides the ultimate backdrop for a cosmic selfie.
✨⁣

Sound like something you’d be interested in?
If so,
you might want to APPLY to #BeAnAstronaut!
The deadline is March 31.

So you think you're an #influencer?
🌚🤳🏾⁣
⁣
Can you raise the sea tides with just your face?
Does sunlight bounce off you so brightly that people constantly stare?
When you get closer to strangers do they scoff or do they say,
"Wow,
you're super?"
⁣
⁣
The Moon is Earth's biggest influencer.
And when it's closest to us,
it becomes more than just the Moon --
it's a Supermoon.
Supermoons occur when the Moon’s orbit is closest (perigee)
to Earth at the same time it is full.
In case you missed it,
the world witnessed one this week when our closest celestial neighbor came about 253,000 miles (405,500 kilometers)
away from Earth.

Capitol in Washington,
