🚀 Say cheese… from space! 🌎📸
In December, a group of Washington STEAM After School students participated in CrunchLabs’ SAT GUS—a small satellite named after their mascot Phat Gus—as it’s orbiting Earth with a phone onboard to snap real selfies submitted by fans, all with our planet as the backdrop! This week, the satellite captured this photo as it was going over Valley City! 🛰️
It’s part of a fun STEAM mission to get students excited about space and science.💫
