I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: NASA’s social media game is strong. Now that’s being officially recognized, as the agency has been nominated for five Webby Awards, including three for its social media:

Science – the Cassini Mission to Saturn
Education and Discovery – The Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s social media
Best Overall Social Presence – the Cassini Mission social media
