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.

Space Porn: The MOON from SOVIET RUSSIA’S SPACECRAFT.
I had never heard of the Soviet’s spacecraft, the Zond 8. You see, they taught us in elementary school that the Soviets were vodka-drinking Godless heathens who didn’t fly. No, no. Impoverished from their filthy Communism, they threw rocks at one another and silently begged for American intervention. Well, now I know better! Such a spacecraft existed, and it took a sexy picture of the moon.
Hit the jump to check it out.
HUBBLE FINDS BLUE-PLANET that RAINS GLASS. Sounds rough. Count me out.
Here is a hell of a fucking find. The Hubble Telescope has uncovered a nice blue planet! We love Blue Planets, right?! Slow your roll, holmes. What if I told you that this planet also had 4,500 mile-per-hour winds? And rained glass? Yeah, I’m canceling my flight too.
NASA: Our SOLAR SYSTEM has a friggin’ TAIL.
I say goddamn! Now our solar system is yet another entity I’m in love with that has a tail. Them fucking tails are so seductive. Like, great for balancing. And sticking into input units and shit. Wait — it isn’t a literal tail?
PAYPAL + SETI = creation of a SPACE BANK. No, srsly.
Ah, sometimes the future is so obviously emerging. Emergent. Both. PayPal and SETI have teamed up to create a nascent sort of space bank. They dare to dream of a world where us lead feet are off the Big Blue Marble. You know, spending Space Bux on hookers and spices on Ceres. They imagine this future, and whilst they do they also realize something. All of those transactions need a mechanism, and they want to provide it.
VENUS’ SURFACE got that MOLTEN SURFACE, looks like MOLTEN CORE. WOW Reference FTL.
Hey man. So what if I was running around a mere eight (Jesus Christ what am I doing with my life?) years ago in Molten Core? It is the first thing I thought of when I glimpsed this beautiful reconstruction of Venus’ surface. Not a world of the Worlds? The Wars? The Crafting? Then drown me out as usual, and check out the real deets after the jump.
(THERE WAS) DRINKABLE WATER ON MARS according to Opportunity
Imagine sucking down a cold glass of Martian water? Well, we can do it. What’s needed for this task? Uh, well it’s a bit complicated. A time-travelling spaceship, stocked with a crew and such. Me? I’m just there to drink the water.
MARS got a BANANAS Northern Polar Ice Cap.
Woah! What a dumb first line. Whatever. Double woah! Take a look at Mars’ northern polar ice cap. There are some seriously impressive natural forces taking place in this picture. Forces so majestic in scope that I cannot even begin to understand them. I’m just here for the free chicken and pictures!
TRAVELLING TO MARS would GODDAMN KILL US with RADIATION right now.
Jesus Christ, ain’t this a downer. With current technology, the amount of radiation our asses would absorb on the way to Mars would prove pretty fucking terminal. Don’t let that shit get you down though! Just another hurdle to cross.
LET’S CROWDFUND A F**KING SPACE TELESCOPE. Asteroid mining company turns to Kickstarter.
Planetary Resources Inc is turning their eyes towards us, folks. They want us to help crowdfund a space telescope that they intend on using to look for asteroids to mine. Should you choose to help out, there are all sorts of bonuses. Unfortunately, none of them are a perk which allows you to find your own space asteroid, and crown yourself king of it. Ala motherfucking Magneto and shit. Drats. None the less, you down?
