HUBBLE spots GALAXY that “shouldn’t exist”…we know nothing.
I’m particularly fond of the stories that contain remarks like “shouldn’t exist” or “defies expectations” or “confuses the shit out of people.” It makes me warm knowing that as much progress we make, we are generally still blind mice milling about in a world of confusion. The Universe is still full of wonder.

Stars SCREAM while being eaten by BLACK HOLES. Cold motherf**kers.
Black holes. I already knew they were bad ass. Turns out, they’re the coldest of motherfuckers. Not only do they gobble up stars, but whilst they do so the stars are all “Jesus Christ, stop, stop!” screaming with little dignity and no resignation.
The PRAWN NEBULA rocks that fishy cosmic swag.
Relativity in motion, folks. While it is has been dubbed the Prawn Nebula, anything is 250 light-years across gets the nod in my book as fucking enormous. It is all relative. That’s why me and my demur cottage crotch only date people under three feet in height. Relativity.
August’s BLUE MOON is gorgeous space rock.
I had no idea that it was possible for there to be two full Moons in one month. That shouldn’t be surprising, since I an an unwashed dunce. What a thrill though!, to continue learning even as I go grey and find my flatulence becoming unrestrained flatulence splattering undies and hair molecules alike.
Let’s learn!
SpaceX gets clearance to begin resupply missions to the International Space Station in October. Pumpkin Lager INC.
SpaceX is going to be bringing the fucking pumpkin spice to space this October. At least, that is what I would be doing if I was running the resupply missions during such a season. Getting ripped to the tits, staring at the Blue Marble from afar.
Saturn ninjas its own rings with SHADOWS of DOOM. Or something.
Cassini has been capable of capturing some pretty righteous space pictures as it goes about in the Saturn system. This little bit of lighting awesomeness is only the latest example. Where be the rings, you ask? Double doi! I respond. In the shadow.
Video: NASA sending another ROBOT TO MARS. Yeah, get that Red Planet goodness.
Complimenting my philosophy of “more shit to Mars, all the time!“, NASA has announced they’re sending another robot to the Red Planet in 2016. Obviously carrying the hidden DNA capsules that will begin vat-growing the first spacemen to secretly colonize the planet. Doi. Google it, you ignoramuses.
Mars rover fires its laser, totally lights up a rock. It’s for science, people. And fun.
Ain’t nothing wrong with mussing around a little bit on Mars. Curiosity has deployed its laser, teaching a dumb Martian rock about the strength of human prowess. Or at least how much we like blasting things with phallic lasers.
Video: Footage of Curiosity gives you a point-of-view of landing on Mars.
Nothing much to say here. Just an illin’ point-of-view video of the rover landing on Mars. Tremendous.
NASA pulls off a 350-million mile software update. Mars ain’t nothing!
NASA doesn’t fear distance! Nor space! Those dreaming fools have updated Curiosity’s software. No big deal, it was only a 350-million mile jaunt from Earth to Mars. Just another day in the life of those space-wizards.
