Lately I’ve been feeling if I could travel back in time I would be an astronomer or physicist. There is something so overwhelmingly beautiful about looking out into space and thinking about how the world works. Most of what we see, and can’t see, can be explained by laws of science. Amazing!
One of the earliest moments I remember being fascinated by space was when I was in grade school and I was chosen from my elementary class to go and learn about NASA. We got to use real telescopes, learn about the moon, and got to built our own telescopes out of cardboard. It’s amazing the memories that will inspire and stay with you longterm.
If you ever want to feel incredibly insignificant yet beautifully significant you should check out NASA’s Hubble Telescope photos of nebulae, stars, galaxies, and planets. To me, it’s most certainly one of the most inspiring things ever!
I find myself diving into the world of the sciences. I can’t wait to share what I discover.

I encourage you to check out NASA’s wesbite for inspiring photos. You can also follow them on instagram!
