These days, an everyday person can explore the universe. On July 14, 2015, I got to be among the first people in all of human history to see the dwarf planet, Pluto. How? I opened my Instagram feed. At that moment, everything changed.

My name is Jared. This is an explanation of my new channel here on Youtube called, "Digital Astronaut." I'm thrilled to be here and to talk about space with you!
