How to be a legit NASA astronaut this Halloween
There are some cute, tiny astronauts, aliens and planets out there this Halloween.
NASA put out a call to followers on Twitter, asking them to share their space-themed costumes with the #NASACostume hashtag, and space fans obliged.
After all, what's spookier than the eternal blackness of the ever-expanding universe?

NASA also has a handy costume handout of its own for this Halloween.
The space agency has produced a series of paper "planet masks" for those of you in needs of a low-tech, last-minute costume for the holiday.

The masks are a little creepy with their soulless, cutout eyes, but hey, at least it's better than having no space costume at all.
