“ULTIMATE’ building blocks of life found in interstellar space. I find it all confusing.
There is so much goddamn wizardry afoot in this article right here. Using telescopes or whatever to see molecules or something in deep space. Building blocks of life. All of it. All of it makes my nose bleed in a wonderful manner.
“VULCAN” wins Pluto’s moon-naming poll. Plus! Three-headed dogs.
The Vulcans have won, folks. Led by Spock, they have claimed victory in the poll which was deciding the name of two of Pluto’s moons. Pretty gnarly.
Newly discovered planet is the size of the MOON. Pluto is like, indignant.
The Space Wizards have found us a new exoplanet, and this one is fucking small. How small? We’re talking about as small as the round mound of Cheese that we like to call the Moon. Space Cheese. Pluto is probably pretty upset about this news, as it continues to deny the fact that its demotion wasn’t purely based on its size. Give it up, Pluto!
RUSSIAN METEOR was largest in more than a century at over 10,000 tons.
That Russian meteor that struck all over their face last week? Way bigger than initially suspected. Like, I can’t do the math, but a lot. In fact, the energy that was released was more than 30 times than that of the atomic bomb detonated over Hiroshima. G’damn.
A storm on SATURN so frakin’ huge it wrapped around the planet. Blood + Thunder.
How is this for a storm. The wunder-object Cassini has picked up a thunder-and-lightning maelstrom on Saturn that is so goddamn enormous, it wraps around the entire planet. That is some straight not fucking around space right there.
Scientists have created a working (microscopic) tractor beam. We’ve done it, people!
Science Wizards know us, and our swollen geek glands. They know how to tenderly massage these glands, while whispering things. What do they coo? Many, many sweet nothings. One of my favorite barely audible murmurs that they hang on me is “we’re making it all come true, all come true!”
NASA’s next robot moon walker is ATHLETE, promises to elegantly dispose our corpses.
Just build them up! Yes, keep building these beautiful, and elegant robots. Nothing is going to make the robot apocalypse more delicious than momentarily contemplating how we created these versatile killing machines. Ones that now, thanks to NASA, go hang out on the moon afterwards.
This spiral galaxy is totally on edge. Relax, yo. Existence is fun.
Yo, NGC 4945. Relax. You’re on edge. Get it? ‘Cause you’re tilting. Eh, whatever. Here is a pretty awesome picture of the aforementioned galaxy, hanging out a mere 13 million light years away.
Warner. Bros wants to make Homer’s ‘ODYSSEY’ in space. Sold!
If executed well, Homer’s “Odyssey” in space could be frakin’ fantastic. Now, do I think it actually will be done well? Yeah, I don’t know about that. Do you know about that? Do you like the general idea? Let me know.
New biggest structure in the UNIVERSE too much for our monkey-brains to comprehend.
Shout out to Dave Kendricken of No Film School for bringing this to my attention. I can barely comprehend the concept of time and space interlocking into some wily thing where like, spacemen come back from their journey to find their families dead. So I definitely cannot comprehend the largest structure in the Universe. I can, however, enjoy trying to comprehend my lack of comprehension.
