About this app

Create your own selfies from outer space! NASA Selfies lets you put your photo in a virtual spacesuit in front of some of NASA's most captivating space images. Share these space selfies on social media, and learn about the science behind the pictures.

Originally developed to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the launch of NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, this app has since been expanded with many new images & science facts to help users explore our Universe. A recent update honors the end of the Spitzer mission which occurred on January 30, 2020 after 16+ years of exploration.

Ratings and reviews

The NASA Selfie app delivers it's premise: it allows for easy and instantaneous access to selfies took in space. It merges the person's head into the suit of an real astronaut and sets the background to choice based images of space phenomenons. It's fascinating to see yourself actually in space if you are intrigued and motivated to study planets and the solar system. However, the downside of the app is that the photos are not realistic and seem quiet rigid and pieced together to be convincing. Furthermore, it would be cooler if more photos of space phenomenons can be included into the app. Personally, I wish I can have the black hole as my background and sucking me into an abysmal of darkness.

Nice app. I made many pictures and enjoyed a lot. I have one suggestion. Please let us to add other pictures of universe from google as background so that we can use any picture we want. Especially I would love black hole as background in my picture which is not in option. Otherwise the app is wonderful.

Pretty nice. My face in a spacesuit (Google Duo did this but it was a video, this is not) floating near a star (in space) or constellation or other phenomenon. Each picture gives a lot of information on what we are looking at. I can change the background, save it, and send it by email and/or messenger! So fasinating that I want to pull my telescope out and see if I can see it. Or, go to a place with a very powerful telescope, OR visit NASA.
