If selfies in front of famous world landmarks don’t cut it any more, NASA now lets you go one better: a new app lets you take selfies in space …
Sadly the Jet Propulsion Laboratory app doesn’t include a boarding pass for a rocket trip – just the ability to take a photo and digitally insert it into a spacesuit.
You can pose in any one of 30 stunning photos taken by the Spitzer Space Telescope, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary this week. Working in the infra-red spectrum, Spitzer was the first telescope to see light from a planet outside our solar system. NASA says Spitzer has also made important discoveries about comets, stars, exoplanets and distant galaxies.
NASA Selfies is a free download from the App Store.
