Space Swoon: Pluto’s moon Charon in enhanced color
Goddamn gorgeous. Just Pluto. Not being a moon, but having a moon? Wild. Insult. Gorgeous.
Saturn’s Moon Enceladus is covered in a futzing Global Ocean
Saturn’s moon got some water! Oh man, does it ever have some water. Like, an entire goddamn global ocean, beneath the surface. This is really goddamn staggering and glorious. All I have beneath the surface is anxiety and perhaps a slow rolling ride of perpetual depression. Go Enceladus!
Watch: The Pluto System as seen by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft
NASA has dropped another glimpse of the Pluto system, courtesy of New Horizons. Futzing 2015, yo. Just living in a year where we’re being beamed glorious quasi-footage from a goddamn Dwarf Planet way out there in the solar system. Glorious. Glorious.
Central Asian country Tajikistan has created its own planet in the solar system; named it after itself
Have to respect this power move by Tajikistan. Just up and creating its own planet. I mean, why not? With the villains and deadbeats of the Empire Proper generally disregarding science in the face of profit, why shouldn’t other nations throw empiricism and method to the wind? I applaud Tajikistan.
Astronauts are eating the first space-grown vegetables, today. Lettuce celebrate!
Terrible pun! But this is pretty gnarly. Astronauts aboard the ISS are eating the first space-grown vegetables today, in the form of some seriously red romaine lettuce. To space! To Mars! To Andromeda! With ruffage!
