Now NASA is Watch The War of the Worldreally speaking the internet's language.
The space agency just released a full page on Giphy.com devoted to NASA's favorite animated gifs, and all of them are pretty amazing.
SEE ALSO: NASA unveils 'food bars' to feed astronauts on long space journeysNASA has everything from sun gifs to Apollo-era throwbacks, so let's get into it.
Here are some of the best:
Saturn is just the best. I mean, look at it! The rings, the cloud bands, that super weird looking hexagonal jet stream in the north pole; it's just a wonderful world.
So please, feast your eyes up on this rad gif of Saturn spinning around in space.
This mission controller's imagined inner monologue: "What's that you say? You're expressing an opinion on the internet? I am totally unfased by that."
NASA astronaut Ed Mitchell is not interested in your shaver, so you don't need to be interested in whatever someone is trying to tell you on Twitter.
Channel Ed the next time someone tries to tell you to do something and just say "nope."
Scientists have devised ingenious ways to engineer robots to look at the sun in a manner that humans never could, and we're all the better for it.
The gif above shows a burst of hot solar plasma -- called a "coronal mass ejection" -- shooting forth from the star. It wouldn't be possible to see this kind of activity without the help of specialized spacecraft in orbit that are always keeping an eye on our closest star.
Via GiphyThe second gif shows the moon passing across the face of the sun from the Hinode spacecraft's perspective.
Watching people walk on the moon is pretty adorable.
The astronauts in their bulky space suits bounce along the lunar surface like babies learning to walk for the first time, so of course, any gif showing them moving along is the best.
Spacewalks are probably the most dangerous things you can do in space today, but they're also some of the most aesthetically pleasing events you can watch from the ground.
It's hard to beat a view of two astronauts performing maintenance on the outside of the Space Station in their bulky spacesuits with hard vacuum surrounding them.
In this gif, one astronaut repositioning his or her camera while the other works on a task close by. The view of Earth to the left takes the seconds-long gif to another level.
A Soyuz rocket launch is a pretty impressive sight, and it looks like all those photographers had a solid view of it lifting off from Kazakhstan.
Spotting auroras from the ground is one thing, but seeing them from above Earth is another story entirely.
The bright curtains of light occasionally shine like this for the crewmembers aboard the International Space Station, giving them a unique view from orbit.
The auroras are created when Earth's magnetic field gets pelted with charged solar particles, some of which make it into the upper atmosphere, exciting the neutral particles and causing them to glow.
One day, billion upon billions of years from now, our Milky Way galaxy will merge with the Andromeda galaxy, creating one large pocket of matter in the solar system born from chaos.
NASA's animation (above) shows a cosmic crash happening right before your eyes. While the real galaxies would take millions of years to actually collide, this simulation shows you what it would be like to speed that up to an extreme degree.
Via GiphyThat's Earth. That's our blue home planet, the only place we can currently survive in the solar system.
There's something so distinctly human about this gif.
It shows astronaut Scott Kelly tossing a carrot into his mouth on the International Space Station, giving people a little glimpse of the weirdness of life in space.
Via GiphyAnother Kelly gif shows him popping an effervescent tab into a blob of water on the Space Station, putting on display the strange way water works in weightlessness.
This gif comes from one of the most exciting and tense days in NASA history -- when the Curiosity rover landed on Mars in 2012.
Scientists and people around the world were freaking out while waiting to find out if the rover actually made it down to the surface of the planet intact. Once word came down that it did, this beautiful and deeply nerdy celebration ensued.
Did you just get that promotion? Celebrate with this gif. Did you find $20 in your couch cushions? Definitely celebrate with this gif. Did someone give you a free cupcake? This gif is here for you.
