Mars may have once had rings, according to new research. The Red Planet fucking rocks, dudes
Oh fucking hell! Mars has a goddamn monopoly on awesomeness in our solar system (though, granted, Jupiter is amazing, so is Saturn, okay, they’re all rad). Apparently, the son of a bitch may have once had rings.
SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule has successfully docked with the International Space Station. Three cheers for privatizing space!

Astronomers find that some stars have a rhythmic pulsing not unlike a heartbeat. The fucking Cosmos pulses, yo!
Fucking astronomer wizards have done it again, folks. They’ve long been puzzled by the rhythmic pulses of a certain type of star, and now they’ve finally been able to cut through all the noise. To discover! Their beating hearts! Okay, okay. Not literally, but this is dope.

Today, in fucking fantastic space exploration news? NASA wants to chase interstellar objects with an orbital slingshot. Gimme a fuck yeah!
Space Swoon: Jupiter looks like a bad ass ball of fire in this “lucky” infrared shot!
It took merely hundreds of exposures by the Gemini North Telescope in Hawaii to captured this photo of Jupiter. It’s one of the “sharpest observations of the planet ever made on the ground” and it’s also gnarly as fuck.
Astronomers have found the nearest Black Hole, and the son of a gun is only 1,000 light-years away!
Space is fucking wild in its relativity, man. Astronomers have found the nearest black hole, and it’s *only* 1,000 light-years away. Which is both insanely far away, and also relatively close.
