Video: “SOLAR TORNADO” Is 5 Times Larger Than Earth. Scope ++
This is fucking fantastic, right here. Here’s a little existential wonderment to set you up for your weekend. The Solar Dynamics Observatory has caught a solar tornado that is five times bigger than the Earth.
More Evidence That Life Came To Earth First From COMETS. Space, Man.
Every sci-fi geek has at some point contemplate the idea that life on Earth was brought to the Blue Marble by some outside force. Be it Martians or mayhem. Now there’s new evidence to support the idea that a comet got this whole funny fucking thing called human existence started.
MERCURY Got Itself Some MYSTERIOUS HOLLOWS. Snape Snickers.
The fun thing about all the bullsquash that NASA is launching into orbit is that not only is it helping the Space Brains of the Blue Marble figure things out, its also raising new questions as well. For what is the imagination for, if it has no room left to guess with? What the fuck…? Anyways, yeah! NASA’s MESSENGER turned up some unexpected hollows on the surface of Mercury.
Evidence For WATER Flowing On Surface Of MARS Continues. Spacegasm Ahoy.
The Martian Chronicles was actually a future divined by Rad Bradbury. Such a future will soon come to pass, as evidence for flowing water on the surface of Mars refuses to go away. So say we all! Or something.
Wait — Could Giant Asteroid VESTA Be A PLANET?
Pluto is going to be fucking heated, yo. Not
only has it been demoted to a dwarf planet, but now there’s talk of an asteroid being a planet. An asteroid! A fucking asteroid.
Hypervelocity Planets Are Leaving Our Galaxy At Warp Speed. PEACE.
These planets have the balls-out ride of the cosmos. After getting too close to the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, they’ve been flung the fuck out of the galaxy. Beasted!
MERCURY Has Frozen Water, Despite Being Hot As F**k? Zounds.
Mercury is straight chilling next to Sol, having the distinction of being the planet closest to the star in this fine system. With temperatures off the chain, one doesn’t generally imagine there be water on the planet. Unless you’re like me and you spend too much time imagining things in the Multiverse like my dumb ass. Going against all (seeming) sense there isn’t just water on the Scorcher. There’s frozen water.
Ticket To MARS For Only HALF A MILLION? Head of SpaceX Says Word.
I want to go to Mars. I’ve oft mentioned that if we ever put one of us lead-footed mostly-simians onto that Red Planet I’m going to be weeping all over the televised (into ours skull-o-vision) broadcast. Now go there? My god. I can’t even contemplate it. According to the head of SpaceX I could be swinging such a dream for only half a million. Time to start rubbing some fucking pennies together.
Frreal.
Stars Put Up Safety Barriers For Planets. COSMIC BUMPERS.
As scientists have used their super-technos to discover more and more planets, they’ve come to notice a pattern between the distance of these planets from their stars. At first most thought it was because of an unfavorable smell the stars exuded, but it may turn out to be something more clever. The stars themselves put up barriers. Cosmic bumper bowling.
NASA VIDEO: “Evolution Of The Moon” Is Cratery Bliss.
A smidge old, but I kept forgetting to post it. This is for you!, person who hasn’t seen this yet. NASA has released a video detailing the entire evolution of the Moon in almost three minutes. It’s goddamn fantastic.
