Even NASA is an Elder Scrolls Oblivion fan

NASA is first and foremost a pioneering cosmic photographer and aerospace researcher, but it’s also a Bethesda fan. At least, it would appear that way after a brief interaction between the American space agency and the official Starfield account on Twitter. 

Professional astronomers and casual lovers of impressive cosmic imagery were collectively awed recently, after NASA published several striking full-color images from the James Webb space telescope. The Starfield Twitter account was among them, retweeting a picture that showed our distant universe in unprecedented detail.

NASA followed in kind, replying to the tweet with a link to the full gallery of images(opens in new tab), alongside an apt quote taken from an older Bethesda game. Even long-time fans of the studio might have trouble recognizing this one:

“We once heard that ‘the skies are marked with numberless sparks, each a fire, and every one a sign,’” NASA tweeted(opens in new tab), following it up with a wink emoji.

Space is beautiful. We can't wait to see what's out there…
