Hey everybody! *You've already paid for Hubble*. So instead of this scam just go to the NASA (hubblesite.org) or ESA (esahubble.org) Hubble site, peruse the images, and then download one. *Or two hundred*. They're *free*.

How exactly can they make an NFT out of something publicly owned? Part of that whole schtick is the ownership and they can’t claim to own what they don’t own (because we know

owns it)

I made this space collage using images I got from NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day. Every single one of them is public domain.
