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.
NASA wants to chase Interstellar Objects using a fucking orbital slingshot. How goddamn bad ass!
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.
Scientists find signs on Mars of an ancient river that may have flowed for 100,000 years. Fuck, that’s rad
Man, how fucking cool is this? An ancient river may have been running on Mars for 100,00 years. 100,000 fucking years!
NASA picks Elon Musk’s SpaceX, Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin to build lunar landers for manned moon mission. Privatize the Cosmos, baby!
NASA has chosen SpaceX and Blue Origin to build motherfucking lunar landers for the next manned moon missions! Man, I’m torn. Elon Musk is such a fucking tool that it’s hard to get stoked for SpaceX building lunar landers. Same goes for that fuck face Jeff Bezos. But, I gotta admit. New manned moon missions make my tits hard.
Space Swoon: The International Space Station transits the Sun. Goddamn scope, yo.
Check out this fantastic image by Andrew McCarthy of the International Space Station as it transits the sun. And, man. Look at the fucking scope of that big blast furnace compared to the ISS.
Hit the jump for the full image!
Scientists have observed the biggest supernova ever detected. Space simply does not fuck around!
Scientist-Wizards have observed the biggest supernova ever. The motherfucker was found to be “releasing twice as much energy as any other stellar explosion observed to date, occurred about 4.6 billion light years from Earth” in a rather small galaxy. Don’t judge a goddamn star by its galaxy, I guess. None the less, insane. Rad.
Astronomers have found a metal-as-fuck planet where it rains liquid iron. Gimme a hell yeah to the heavy metal cosmos!
Man, sometimes the cosmos really is metal as fuck! I mean, a planet that rains liquid iron? Oh hell yes.
Space Swoon: Behold the Milky Way Galaxy’s center featuring 84 million stars. We are cosmic ants, but it’s okay!
I say goddamn. Bask in this image of the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, featuring 84 million stars.
