NASA has discovered organic compounds on Mars. Or not. Equivocating like woah.
It’s time to get excited, while simultaneously not getting excited! NASA has unveiled that they’ve found organic compounds on Mars, except maybe they’re not from Mars. Yeah, wait, huh? Am I excited, or not? I have this pint of apple-urine deliciousness, but I need to know if I’m throwing it on a flower or drinking it with a smile. Someone. Tell me.

Cassini captures Saturn’s enormous space swagger.
G’damn! Saturn is quite large. This gorgeous picture was snapped back in August by Cassini, and it captures the true hulking might of the planet named after a video game system. That’s where it came from, right? Shame it couldn’t have been named after a more wonderful gaming system, but hey. Who could have known?
Video: Highlights from Felix Baumgartner’s frakin’ dive from space. So tasty.
I missed Felix’s fantastic leap from space yesterday, working the NYCC. Goddammit. If these highlights are anything to go off of, the entire endeavor was glorious.
Rotating 3D nebula is just the space porn needed to end long weekend.
Hell yeah! Look at this, for it is the berries. Delicious, rotating 3D nebula berries.
CURIOSITY finds evidence of ancient stream on MARS. SCIENCE IS GOOD.
Bradbury high-fives all around! Curiosity has found evidence of an ancient stream of Mars. Now – dear friends – all we must do is channel our combined telepathic will into filling that stream with material of the cosmos, transforming it into a bubbling creak. Or something.
Richard Branson is determined to “start a population ON MARS.” Bradburyriffic.
Richard Branson wants to start a population on Mars. Fuck. Fuck yeah! Here is to eccentric white dudes with a ridiculous amount of money doing something solid. You go Branson, and you get this shit done.
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.
