I'm a data analyst at NASA. I work with a team of 15 people. I can't tell you which department, and I can't tell you my real name, but I'll just call it what it is. I have information, and I need to share it.<br><br>I'm a star-gazer, just like anyone else who works there. I've loved space my entire life. As a child, I would stay up late just to watch the stars. To watch the moon. Now, as an adult, I get to do it for a living. And I have to say, even when you get used to it, it's still beautiful. Sometimes, when I have extra time on my hands, I'll zoom in on the moon. Just watch it from my computer. I've seen Earth-shine, which is "Sunlight that has been reflected by the Earth and then reflected back to it again by the Moon." It's beautiful, but I'm sure you already know that. I felt so privileged. I felt like I was watching something nobody else has seen. <br><br>The reason I tell you this is because that's what I was doing when I saw it. It's what I was doing the day before too, and the day before that. I couldn't keep my eyes off of it. Sometimes, I'd watch it during meetings, and sometimes, when I was alone, I'd just sit there and watch it. It was nice. <br><br>I was watching it the day I saw it. I didn't know what it was, at first. It just looked like a black, pixelated line in the zoomed in image on my computer. My heart started racing. I felt like I had found something important. Something that nobody else had seen. I zoomed in further, and soon enough, I realized that it wasn't on the moon, it was in front of it. Whatever it was. I zoomed in further. It still looked like just a line. But I saw something else. A white, pixelated line. Shoulder to shoulder with the black line. The white one looked slightly shorter, but only slightly. And they were both blurred at one of the ends. I zoomed in further. The white line was slightly wavy, kind of like a silk ribbon. The black line looked like a ribbon too. <br><br>I zoomed in further. I saw specks of light. Small red and blue lights. They were dotted along the black line, which is why it looked blurred at one of the ends: it ended at the camera. The blur was the camera itself. Looking back, it makes sense. I just didn't think about it at the time. I zoomed in further. The specks of light were gone. The black line was gone. The white line filled up my entire screen. I zoomed in further. It was a rope. I zoomed in further, and I saw an arm, gripping onto the rope. I zoomed in further, and I saw a spacesuit. I zoomed in further, and I saw a head. A man with a head of dark brown hair, climbing the rope. I zoomed in further. His eyes. They were looking at me. I zoomed in further, and the image went black. I zoomed in further, and the image went black. I zoomed in further, and the image went black. I zoomed in further, and the image went black. I zoomed in further, and the image went black. I zoomed in further, and the image went black. I zoomed in further, and the image went black. I zoomed in further, and the image went black. I zoomed in further, and the image went black.
