NASA Selfies App Lets Users Pose with Space Images
NASA has launched NASA Selfies, a free app for iOS and Android, to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Spitzer Space Telescope. Users can take selfies and choose from 30 backgrounds featuring real Spitzer images, including stars and planets of the Milky Way. The app also provides brief explanations of each image and encourages sharing via #NASASelfie. The article also mentions the Museum of Selfies in Glendale, USA, co-founded by Tommy Honton and Tair Mamedov, which explores the selfie phenomenon with interactive installations. Honton notes that people want to be part of art rather than passively consume it. Additionally, the article highlights Daisie, a new app launched by Maisie Williams and Don Sauntry, aimed at connecting creatives across film, fashion, art, design, music, photography, and literature, described as a LinkedIn for creative collaboration.
