Greetings, Earthlings, and welcome to #SpaceWeek on Energy.gov! Throughout the week, we’ll be exploring energy and science on the cosmic frontier.

We’ll show you how our supercomputers help NASA test rocket engines, how our nuclear expertise powers spacecraft on planets millions of miles away, and how our scientists are working to create a star on Earth. The week concludes with a [big] bang for Star Wars fans: “The Energy of Star Wars: A Google+ Hangout.” Join us on Friday at 2 p.m on Energy.gov/StarWars -- and don’t forget to submit questions ahead on time on social media using #StarWarsEnergy.

#SpaceWeek is meant to be fun -- but it highlights the important role the Energy Department and our National Labs play in America’s space enterprise. You might be surprised by what you learn. Follow the conversation all week long on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and Instagram.
