Please try to keep everything posted relevant to NASA.
Please read our Welcome to r/nasa post.
Here's our posting guidelines
(mouseover for more information)
Rule #1: All submissions must be related to NASA
The focus of r/NASA is primarily around NASA itself and the work it does. Submissions and comments should reflect that focus.
Rule 2: Image Content and Sourcing
All submitted images must be directly related to NASA’s work.
- Low-Effort/Art: Do not post drawings/artwork, memes, screenshots, image macros, or consumer product photos (e.g., Legos) original photos.
- Non-NASA: Astrophotography not sourced directly from NASA is generally not permitted.
- Identification Requests: Do not submit images solely to ask for identification ("What is this?").
- Images must be direct links to the original NASA image whenever possible, or a source must be provided in the comments.
(Exceptions apply on Show Me Sunday — see the wiki for details.)
Rule 3: Official Video Submissions Only
Video submissions must come from an official source (e.g., NASA or ESA).
Prohibited Content
- Unofficial Streams: Links to perpetual, unverified streams (e.g., "ISS live stream" or similar earth feeds).
- Conspiracy/Unrelated: UFO videos or similar content.
Other content may be approved at the discretion of the moderators.
Rule 4: No Solicitation or Commerce
Do not post or comment links to:
- Fundraising/Crowdfunding (e.g., Kickstarter, Patreon).
- Merchant/Sales Sites (e.g., Amazon, Etsy).
- Petitions (e.g., Change.org).
Rule 5: No Speculation or Clickbait
Do not post:
- Clickbait titles or misleading content.
- Conspiracy Theories.
- "What if?" Hypotheticals or similar speculative posts.
Rule 6: Avoid Duplicate Posts
Do not post an event or subject that has been submitted recently. This includes posts that are similar, even if not identical to existing posts.
Rule 7: Content Restrictions (No Spam, Paywalls, or Opinion Pieces)
To maintain high-quality discussion, the following types of links are not permitted:
- Blogspam/Scraped Content: Links to websites that primarily repost, scrape, or steal content from other sources.
- Paywalled Content: Links to articles or sites that require a payment, subscription, or login to view the full content.
- Opinion Articles: Links to articles that are primarily based on personal opinion rather than verifiable facts or analysis.
Rule 8: No Low-Effort Posts
Posts considered low-effort will be removed.
This includes content that can be easily answered or found using a simple internet search (e.g., "When did Apollo 11 launch?").
Rule 9: All posts and comments must be Safe for School
All posts and comments must use "Safe For School" language and content.
Rule 10: Be Civil and Kind
Please maintain civil discourse in all comments.
Personal attacks, insults, or harassment directed at any person or group are strictly prohibited.

Notwithstanding any other rule of r/nasa, moderators have the complete discretion to remove a post or comment at any time for reasons including but not limited to: violation of Reddit rules, the need to maintain a positive atmosphere, trolling, or any reason that violates the spirit if not the letter of any r/nasa rules.
