SpaceX Making Another Launch Attempt Tomorrow At 3:44 AM EST
SpaceX had to cancel its attempted launch on Saturday at quite literally the last second. We ain’t talking the overused, played out notion of the word. They crushed the attempt with a second left, due to concerns over valves and uh, things. Tomorrow they’re going to give it another go.

IMAGE: The Andromeda Galaxy Is Our Nearest Neighbor; Damn Sexy.
Ah, the Andromeda Galaxy. It is our nearest galactic buddy in the Local Cluster, and as you can tell from this work of Rock it is quite swanky. Look at it, all a mere 2.5 million light-years away. Taunting us with its splendor.
IMAGE: Star Formation in the Tarantula Nebula. Gorgeous.
The Tarantula Nebula ain’t fucking around, no sir. No ma’am. In fact, it’s the most violent star forming region in the whole goddamn local group of galaxies. Thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, you can see allllll sorts of crazy shit going on in this picture.

Yeah, we got our own nebula. Big whup. It ain’t even that fancy. I wish I was consulted when the rest of the gang was choosing our own star-forming section of the Universe, I would have chosen something with more swag.

Hit the jump for the video.
Most Detailed Picture Yet Of A STAR NURSEY BIRTHING Suns. Cosmic Awe
God bless the Hubble. For years it has been bringing us glorious snapshots of the glorious beyond. Stimulating the imagination while showing us what lies beyond the Big Blue Marble. This picture is no different. It is a look at 30 Doradus, which is “the brightest and most prolific star-forming region in our galactic neighborhood”. Hell yeah!
