CASSINI captures EARTH and THE MOON from Saturn. Perspective++
Behold the wonder of perspective! Yeah, it’s a grainy piece of shit picture. Still though! What it signifies is pretty outrageous. Thurr be in that picture the Blue Marble and the Moon. As seen from Cassini up in Saturn’s hood.
Earth’s INNER CORE is straight-up as hot as the surface of THE SUN. No way.
I guess I can go and cancel the fort I was planning on making in the Earth’s inner core. Had some pretty dope plans to begin digging to it this summer while at the beach.I mean, I’m sure it’s still pretty neat and all. It’s just that it is fucking hot.
Here’s EARTH courtesy of the first WEATHER SATELLITE picture from 53 years-ago.
Yo, I don’t even know. This picture is making the rounds on the Internet today, and I want to be like everyone else. Truthfully though, it’s a pretty ballin’ picture. That’s what the hip kids say these days. Balling! Hit the jump to check it out. Or don’t. Just stay here and bask in the glory of Will Smith. Sucking on that big brown lit-phallus. Dude has it figured out.
JUPITER does us a solid, saves us from potential DEVASTATING impact.
If you’re a space geek like me, then you know that Jupiter is essentially Earth’s bulwark. It saves us from a fair amount of shit that comes floating through the shooting gallery that is our solar system. Recently the Enormous Bastard may have extended this solid yet again.

We don’t quite treat our water supply here on Earth with much respect. No worries though. I mean, what can we do? As a Western culture? Drawback? Pah! Cut down on our corpulence? Pah! We just need to head to Europa.
IMAGE: If You Put All The Water On Earth In One Place. Scale Swoon ++
What would it look like if you put all the water on Earth in one place? Hint: it would look like you should stop watering your fucking lawn so much, you swine. No seriously, it’s pretty goddamn impressive(ly small).

Earth’s First Trojan Asteroid Discovered. Not A Condom, Nor A Horse.
Scientists Think Moon May Have As Much Water As Earth.
Yesterday, we spat about the possible confirmation of white holes. Well today True Believers, I have some more sizzlin theoretical heat for you. Scientists are speculating that the Moon may have as much water on it as Earth does. Let us don our Probably Senseless But Nonetheless Exciting Speculating Caps!
New Proof Earth Life Came From Space. Sick.
Knock knock! What’s that? Oh, it’s just new evidence that life on Earth may have been carried to our glorious Marble by some fucking runaway asteroid. The concept of this happening is either enough to give you a Carl Sagan boner, or to point at the sky and say, “Yes, something is definitely up there.”
International Space Station Gets Sexy Shots of The Dark Earth
Make no mistake, our Earth is part of the cosmos that I continually wank to. And make no mistake, the Earth, and all its denizens (you and me) have created a pretty light show with all our modern technologies and demon-bulbs burning brightly. Recently, the International Space Station captured such sexiness.

From 220 miles above Earth, one of the Expedition 25 crew members on the International Space Station took this night time photo featuring the bright lights of Cairo and Alexandria, Egypt on the Mediterranean coast. The Nile River and its delta stand out clearly as well. On the horizon, the airglow of the atmosphere is seen across the Mediterranean. The Sinai Peninsula, at right, is outlined with lights highlighting the Gulf of Suez and Gulf of Aqaba.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous stuff. Hit the jump to check out their pictures.
