Watch: The Earth Rise from the JAXA Kaguya spacecraft
This week, the Japanese Space Agency released the first HD footage of the Earth Rise from the Moon. This footage, man. This footage is fucking stunning. Glory! Perspective! Now, just imagine HD footage from Mars. Okay, yeah, fine. This is only tangentially related. But it still gets my geek-gonads gooey.
Watch: One Year of Earth from One-Million Miles Away
Space swoon! Swooning! Over space!
Ancient Mars was even more Earth-Like than we thought
Mars! The Red Planet! Ares! We’ve known that back in the day, the son of a bitch was similar to Earth. But as we learn more about the planet, it keeps turning out that it was more Earth-Like than imagined. Pretty cool.
[Watch] Time-lapse of Earth In 4K
Make no mistake. Our planet is fucking gorgeous, despite us over-evolved Monkeys doing our best to eradicate our glorious Blue Marble. Here’s a time-lapse of our Space-Ship, and it should give you both pause and wonder. And if doesn’t you’re fucking dumb. DUMB. Get the fuck out of my face. (I’m just kidding, what a monkey-like reaction. You’re still beautiful.)
Space Swoon: Moon and Earth’ straight chillin’
Here’s a perspective that we seldom see. The Moon LARGE AS FUKK hanging out with a Blue Marble that actually looks like a Blue Marble. Don’t see that much. Unless you’re one of those douchebag Kryptonians lurking among us. Flying into space at well. Probably looking at my dong with your x-ray vision from the Dark Side. I resent you.
NASA astronomer finds first EARTH-SIZED planet in habitable zone. Pack yer bags.
Pack your bags! Once we can conquer the impossible and traffic faster than light, we’ve found our first stop. Motherfuckin’ Earth-sized planet has been spotted in the “juicy space spot”, where planets thrive. I’m just spit balling. I don’t really know what I’m talking about. Too busy fingering my ass in public and screaming “you’ll never find me where I’m going!” while wearing my NASA space suit.
SPACE SWOON: Here’s a look at EARTH from MARS.
Stunning picture of Earth from Mars right up in here. Perspective++, brolos. Ain’t nothing better than being reminded that we’re just a little cute irrelevant speck in the cosmic dust. If we used that revelation to strive for something bigger, of course. Oh, me? I’m going to slap Double Gulps from 7-Eleven all day and look at porn. I’m no leader! You, go, start the revolution. Or pass the Fritos, I don’t care.
Hit the jump for the images.
EARTH has HELLACIOUS EXOPLANET TWIN
Earth! It has itself a fucking twin. The only problem is that this Exoplanet twin is a scalding little piece of hell, constantly whipping around its star with an impressive fervor.
One of the SOLAR SYSTEM’S LARGEST VOLCANOES is on Earth. KAIJU INC.
Fuck you, Non-Earth based volcanoes up in our solar system. We got the game on lockdown. Apparently underneath our Pacific Ocean lurks a 120,000 square mile giant. And if you don’t think this is the inter-dimensional portal from Pacific Rim, you’re dumb. Dumb!
