To some people you’re an NPC
To other people, you’re the special, unlockable character that they worked and worked to finally get- and when they do they’re so happy because they got the game just so they could find you.
Solar System: Things to Explore on Your Phone This Week
Let our apps lead you on a journey of exploration across the Earth, through the solar system and beyond. Here are some to download today:
1. Actually, it is rocket science Rocket Science 101 let’s you select your favorite mission and build a rocket to take you to destinations near and far. Learn how launch vehicles are configured and how their boosters and other component parts work together to successfully launch spacecraft.
iOS Google Play
2. Go to Mars (sort of) Be A Martian lets you experience Mars as if you were there! Join an international community of explorers. See the latest images of the Red Planet! Learn about Mars, ask questions, and check out behind-the-scenes videos of the missions.

message from pluto (SBE 5)
pro tip: don't waste ur whole summer. 'specially if you are made of ice. u have all winter to be cold hearted.
!!!
NASA scientists have reported that they’ve successfully tested an engine called the electromagnetic propulsion drive, or the EM Drive, in a vacuum that replicates space. The EM Drive experimental system could take humans to Mars in just 70 days without the need for rocket fuel, and it’s no exaggeration to say that this could change everything.
But before we get too excited (who are we kidding, we’re already freaking out), it’s important to note that these results haven’t been replicated or verified by peer review, so there’s a chance there’s been some kind of error. But so far, despite a thorough attempt to poke holes in the results, the engine seems to hold up.

dear pokemon go players
come to pluto
we have rare ice types and carbon monoxide but also ice
why do you waste your time like this
because i literally have no life
ha ha get it because i’m a planet with no life on it ha ha ha
being uninhabitable is kinda lonely tho tbh someone move me closer to the sun pls
maybe Eris is giving you some space
you think you’re funny but relationships are a very serious matter you scrubbice
message from Pluto (SBE 4)
hello? it’s me, pluto. i might be light years away but that doesn’t explain why you stopped texting me, eris. i thought we were going to make this long distance thing work.
message from Pluto (SBE 3)
did u know when its dark u can see stars on earth isn't that rad u just go outside and wow look up there all those pretty stars that aren’t the sun wow the sun just has to go and hide them during the day but at night wowie just look at all of em up there just wow we’re so small compared to space
important message
scienceeeeeeeeeeeeeee
message from Pluto (SBE 2)
seriously, why did i use all those hashtags?? who was i trying to impress? what teen audience? just impress yourself guys. don't use hashtags if you think they're stupid. but also don't make fun of people who use hashtags. #spreadlovenothate
message from pluto: Summer Break Edition
why haven't i deleted this yet omg i was sooo immature my old posts are so gross 😁😥
um hello i did “sojourn at saturn” first
Solar System: Things to Know This Week
Our solar system is huge, so let us break it down for you. Here are a few things you should know this week:
1. Science at the Edge
As the New Horizons spacecraft speeds away at more than 31,000 miles per hour (14 km/s) it continues to explore the Kuiper Belt, the region of icy bodies beyond Neptune. New Horizons has now twice observed 1994 JR1, a 90-mile-wide object orbiting more than 3 billion miles from the sun.
2. A Spaceship, Refined
This artist’s rendering shows our Europa mission spacecraft, which is being developed for a launch sometime in the 2020s. The mission will place a spacecraft in orbit around Jupiter to explore the giant planet’s moon Europa. This updated concept image shows tow large solar arrays extending from the sides of the spacecraft, to which the mission’s ice-penetrating radar antennas are attached. A saucer-shaped high-gain antenna is also side mounted with a magnetometer boom placed next to it. Find out more about the spacecraft HERE.
3. Sojourn at Saturn
The Cassini spacecraft is hard at work this week, orbiting Saturn to study the planet and its rings. The recent pictures are spectacular, take a look at them HERE.
4. Talking Juno
Our Juno mission arrives at Jupiter on July 4, and that presents a unique opportunity for educators, science communicators and anyone interested in space exploration. We are providing a growing set of Juno-related information resources. Take a look at them HERE.
5. Now THAT’S a Long Distance Call
How do explorers on Earth talk to astronauts and robotic spacecraft flung across the far reaches of space? They use the remarkable technology deployed by our Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) Program Office. This month, SCaN is celebrating its 10th anniversary of managing the ultimate network. Find out how it works HERE.

having separate continents is so stupid im over it reblog if you miss pangaea
Solar System: Things to Know This Week
The solar system is vast, and exploring it requires not one expedition, but many. From the sun to the Earth to the depths of space beyond Pluto, an entire fleet of spacecraft is pushing back the frontiers of knowledge. Scientists and engineers around the world work together on dozens of missions, and the results of their work unfold on a daily basis. During any given week, astronauts and robotic spacecraft return thousands of pictures and other data from Earth orbit and from half a dozen other worlds.
The result? It’s nothing short of a visual and intellectual feast. For example, all of the following images were obtained over the course of one week during January this year.
The same missions that took these pictures are still at work – they may be photographing Saturn or transmitting a report from Mars as you read this.
1. The Sun
From its clear vantage point in Earth orbit, our Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) observes our nearby star almost continuously. This image shows activity on the sun’s surface on Jan. 18. You can also get similar pictures from SDO daily!
2. The Earth from Afar
The DSCOVR satellite orbits the Earth at a distance of nearly a million miles (1.5 million kilometers). It’s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) keeps a steady watch on the home planet. This is how the world turned on Jan. 20. Get the latest daily images from EPIC HERE.
3. Mars from Above
The team that manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) recently celebrated a decade of observing the Red Planet. MRO took this detailed look at dunes and rocky buttes in Danielson Crater on Jan. 24. It was 3:06 p.m., local Mars time. On the right stide of the image, dust devils have left tracks in the sand.
4. Comet 67/P
The European Space Agency’s Rosetta probe caught this look at the surface of Comet 67/P from a distance of just 46 miles (75 kilometers) on Jan. 23.
5. Saturn
On the same day (Jan. 23), our Cassini spacecraft continued its odyssey of nearly two decades in space, bringing us this look at the sixth planet. See the latest images from Cassini HERE.

Cassini at Saturn, 2016
our next (and final?) space project is a brochure!! we have to do it on planets, which means no more pluto memes. mine is “a special sojourn on saturn” look at all that awesome alliteration. nothing beats alliteration. not even rhyming. okay maybe rhyming is pretty great but alliteration, the alliteration is totally on point here.
“keep these & see what happens” is that a threat
anyways, my pluto poster somehow got a 40/40 that’s rad
perhaps people will finally see the error of their nostalgic ways
i donated my beautiful pluto poster so that future generations of children can look at it and harvest ideas from it and then take full credit
Pluto x Eris
i guess you could say their relationship is...strictly plutonic
has this been enough hashtags
is my teen audience #impressed
message from pluto 8
tomorrow is the big day. #showyoursupport by putting the hashtags, #stopoppressingpluto and #letplutobeitself2k16 random places until people ask you politely to please stop. this has been a psa. pluto out.
when you just want space memes but the app is garbage
The difference between an easy model and a complicated one.
Heliocentrism and geocentrism
okay but also the f on the end of one of the words is tiny for some reason rip me and all these technical difficulties.

when i printed my “poster” the printer freaked out and ink splattered at the top i am crying 😭
