Whether it's sending spacecraft to other planets, driving rovers on Mars, finding out what planets are made of or how deep alien oceans are, pi takes us far at NASA. Find out how pi helps us explore space.NASA/JPL Edu
Today is Albert Einstein’s birthday *and* #PiDay!
What better way to celebrate than to learn more about Einstein rings?
This fascinating cosmic phenomenon magnifies distant light into ring-like shapes around massive, foreground objects like galaxy clusters. How does it work? ⬇️
#Hubble
How about a big slice of pi(e)?
Whether your favorite is apple, blueberry, or irrational, celebrate #PiDay with us! Check out some of the ways we use this mathematical constant to explore the universe: go.nasa.gov/2IKTXMB
Tell us how you're celebrating!
