Space Swoon: NGC 1333 got that gorgeous cosmic stardust
NGC 1333 , man. I remember that place. Cruising around in the Space-Ship Omega. Picking up Hot Space Folk. Getting them to laugh at my jokes, show me their trisected brain-nipples. It was wild. This image doesn’t really capture all of that, but it’s a good start.
This MARS SUNSET is solar system sweetness
This is a picture of a sunset on Mars. Just kick back and imagine yourself beholding this beholden beauty upon the Red Dunes of Bradbury-Land. Pass the Space-Beer and the Red Martian Sticky, and let’s let infinity unfold in our minds.
CASSINI crosses Saturn’s Ring Plane. MAGIC TRICK occurs.
How about dis sheeeeeet? Cassini is rocking out, all gobbling up pictures of Saturn and shit when WHOOSH the goddamn rings disappear. Now you’re thinking what I’m thinking. The rings are techno-organic nano-bots that are operating as a hive mind. They’ve been activated, and now are en route to Earth. Close. We’re close. You see — actually we’re not close. It’s a matter of perspective.
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.
Space porn: The Hand of God is ON FIRE.
Behold! The Hand of God is a mere 17,000 light years away. And it’s on fucking fire. Yeah, man. What’s that meager distance to The Creator? Nothing. We better stop acting the fool, I reckon The Deity ain’t opposed to pimp-slapping us. Ain’t nothin’!
SPACE PORN: Behold the Star Cluster that wowed the Romans
Check out M7! This glorious star cluster is so gods-damned bright that the Romans were capable of seeing it in the night sky. So yeah! Drop down and get your learn on about the collection of about 100 stars that wowed the hair off of Ptolemy’s nips.
