"NASA sure knows how to capture the endless beauty of real space. And on Sunday, the space agency decided to connect some of that epic reality with one of the films nominated for this year's Academy Awards. \nHours before the ceremony, NASA tweeted out a couple of its #RealGravity images from life in space, as a way of helping the public connect its real work with the fictional images portrayed in the Oscar-nominated film, Gravity.\n\nTonight, #Gravity is up for awards at the #Oscars2014 &amp; we're sharing #RealGravity images from real life in space. pic.twitter.com/4Dp6AlBB4s\n\u2014 NASA (@NASA) March 2, 2014\n\nSee also: NASA Discovers New Evidence to Suggest Water On Mars\nThese images alone are enough to make anyone want to explore Space. Many of the photos show Earth at night, space walks and even free flying missions. \nCheck out some of our favorites below and see the rest at NASA's Flickr page.\n\n\nNASA-real-gravity-images-space\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe International Space Station\nThe International Space Station backdropped by Earth's horizon and space.\n\nImage: NASA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHubble Space Telescope\nThe Hubble Space Telescope, just after the Space Shuttle Atlantis captured Hubble with its robotic arm on May 13, 2009, beginning the mission to upgrade and repair the telescope.\n\nImage: NASA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorking On The Hubble Space Telescope\nAstronaut Steven L.
