General AudienceOverview:
For Earth Day 2024, NASA is asking the public to share a selfie or photo in their favorite place on Earth – bonus points if it’s near water! Our "blue marble" is about 71% covered by water, and it’s one of the main reasons why Earth is like no other planet we’ve found in this solar system or beyond. Join us in sharing a #GlobalSelfie on social media for Earth Day, April 22, and see the article linked below for even more ways to celebrate with NASA.
