TUCAN enjoy this picture of the PELICAN NEBULA!
Tucan! You can! Get it? Whatever. I see the Pretty Picture! In false colors and other manipulations! I think the picture is pretty, so that means I love the science. That’s how it works on the Internet these days, right? Right! Phew.

Behold VENUS and the ULTRAVIOLET SUN
Yeah! Man! Must be the dirty undies I’ve been huffing all day, because this picture looks out of control. Just the Sun looking all sorts of outstanding because of a Venusian eclipse. The colors, man! Popping.
The Milky Way Galaxy’s MAGELLANIC STREAM is a pretty ribbon.
The southern hemisphere of our galaxy is gassy. Much like my southern hemisphere. Unlike my own Tootin’ Corner (as I call it), the reasons for the Milky Way Galaxy’s ribbon of potentially star-forming gas are much, much more epic.
Hit the jump to behold the Magellanic Stream! Oh, and some more info.
M74 is the PERFECT SPIRAL GALAXY. I guess. I’m not really sure.
Hey, if NASA calls this shit the perfect spiral then I’m totally down. I don’t know anything about perfection. Or spirals. Stars are pretty though. I look at them, thinking of you. Your beautiful biceps. I hold myself, thinking of you. Staring at galaxies.
Wait uh whatever. Just hit the jump for the full beauty.
THE CONE NEBULA is all ICE CREAM FREE, BUT STILL BEAUTIFUL
Yeah, sometimes churning up the headlines for our space porn titles is difficult. Pretty much all of them can read “Nebula X is fucking beautiful!” and I’d be done with it. Being a chubby-chub, I hear “cone” I think “ice cream.” Welcome to my world.
Hit the jump for more details as well as the entire image.
The ESKIMO NEBULA is PRETTY OR SOMETHING.
Yeah, I don’t know. I’m not one to besmirch William Herschel and everything, but I’m not seeing an Eskimo when I look at this image. It’s neat as shit, but an Eskimo? Ehhh. Who knows. Smarter minds than mine, et cetera.
CASSINI captures EARTH and THE MOON from Saturn. Perspective++
Behold the wonder of perspective! Yeah, it’s a grainy piece of shit picture. Still though! What it signifies is pretty outrageous. Thurr be in that picture the Blue Marble and the Moon. As seen from Cassini up in Saturn’s hood.
The HIDDEN GALAXY shines bright LIKE A POP SONG REFERENCE
Get it? It shines bright like a pop song reference, as opposed to me directly quoting that song about shining bright like a diamond! Oh I’m so witty (and fucking stupid). This is a pretty sexy picture of IC 342 – but I’m just going to go ahead and rename it Rihannaville.
THE SOMBRERO GALAXY is the Cosmos’ Dope Hat. #CrapPostTitles
Yo! Whatever. I know that the post title is utter dreck, a salute to running out of ideas. Dismiss my nonsense, instead deciding to bask in the glory that is the Sombrero galaxy.

SPACE PORN: Come on down to GALAXY COVE
My lordy, this is a gorgeous image. Taken by Rogelio Bernal Andreo, it depicts the Milky Way Galaxy as seen from a secluded park in none other than California.
