Space Swoon: Tarantula Nebula is hyperactive spider in our galactic hood
Hey kids! Do you want to learn about the Tarantula Nebula? Why, it’s enormous as fuck, active as fuck, and generally has been known to swagger through the cosmos with a bravado described as “The Rock meets Gandhi meets the Grim Reaper.” Hey, don’t ask me. I didn’t come up with it.

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.
Colliding galaxies dance the dance of death
Two galaxies. Engaged in an epic dance of death. Whilst they slowly pull one another apart, only one shall survive the throwdown. My money is on…the one that the article says will survive. Those space people, they know their shit.
The SEAGULL NEBULA is fixin’ to steal your cosmic french fries.
Seagulls are right pricks. Constantly making sojourns to the beach a fucking adventure. Is the seagull going to shit in my hair? Is it going to steal my sandwich while I look wistfully off into the horizon? Is it going to do both? Thankfully the Seagull Nebula is pretty far away. Pretty gorgeous, too.
The International Space Station mission shall live until 2024. At least.
Here’s one victory for us space nerdos. The International Space Station’s mission just got extended until 2021. More than enough time for me to hone my space-skillz, so I can join my post-Earth brethren up there.
Watch: NASA robot combines OCULUS RIFT + KINECT. Future rules, brah.
NASA ain’t letting the upcoming Robot Apocalypse dissuade them from utilizing current technologies. Until it strikes, of course. Then they’ll just be paste like the rest of us. Until that happens though, they’re doing jazzy things like combining the both the Oculus Rift and XB1’s Kinect. For great justice. Or great…science?
Today NASA launches MAVEN, their latest MARS MISSION.
NASA is launching another mission to Mars. Going down today. The latest little scientific jaunt (is there any other kind at this point? Blessed be Uncle Ray’s heart — no) is aimed at figuring out just where the fuck Mars’ water went.
ASTRONOMERS find NEW TYPE OF SPACE OBJECT. Progress!
Don’t let them tell you it’s all been done, it’s all been found. You know, them. The Man. ‘Cause we’re finding new sorts of ass-puckering goodies throughout the cosmos all the damn time. The latest find (or rather the latest one I’ve read about) is a new kind of space object.
This look at SATURN by CASSINI is top-down space porn.
Fucking Cassini! Good guy Cassini! Floating through space and taking staggeringly beautiful pictures of Saturn. This latest mosaic is fucking phenomenal.
Deets and the full image after the jump.
New found ASTEROID *MAY* f**king HIT EARTH IN 2032
Sensational headlines! Will we be lucky enough to watch as humanity is blighted out by the rocky hand of the Cosmos? Maybe. Maybe not. But who fucking cares how possible it is, when writing about it gets the blood pumping! A fear boner! Carpe Diem! Let’s all the pizza we want, and dance in the streets with our genitals greeting the open winds! ‘
