Pilot Almost Crashes After Mistaking VENUS For An AIRPLANE. Common Mistake. Amirite.
Venus was brighter than a mofuckah’ outside a couple of nights ago. Prompted the girlfriend and me to stare in appreciation, as I waxed cosmic talking about (I’m sure she was bored) how “that’s really a planet up there” and “isn’t that fucking sick that it’s really real” and shit. I thought I was losing my cool, but this pilot one-upped me. Big time.

AURORAS Spotted On URANUS For First Time. Cue Puns.
Have you seen an aurora? I sure haven’t. My experience with them have been confined to Skyrim. Don’t get me wrong, those were gorgeous, I would just much prefer seeing one in person. Now, what could be more fantastic than that? Seeing one on a foreign planet.
ASTEROID That Killed DINOSAURS Might Create Life In Other Solar Systems. Paying It Forward ++
Here’s a potential happy ending to Jurassic Park. The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs and thereby deprived me of my (don’t think about it logically you assholes) T. Rex that I ride around like a car could have seeded life throughout the rest of the galaxy.
Astronomers Find Evidence of STAR-KILLING Sandtorms. Guess ‘Episode I’ Anakin Was Right. Go Figure.
The cosmos is goddamn impressive for a variety of reasons. One of my favorite examples is its tremendous capacity for destruction. Marauding stars, black holes, and now this: sandstorms that rise up out of a star and friggin’ end it.
Video: VIDEO GAMES Done Up As PLANETS; Gaming x Space Swoon.
This is pretty dope. A fan-made video of twenty video games represented as planets. As much a gaming and space nerdo, this is milking two different pleasure centers at once. Note how I writhe in glory.
“Yuri’s Planet” Is Stunning Look At Earth
Yuri Alexseyevich Gagarin was the first human to gaze upon the Grand Blue Marble we call home from space. He did so on this day way back in 1961, and in honor of the anniversary NASA has posted this picture. Damn, it’s a pretty one.
This SPACE PHOTO Has A Fox Fur, A Christmas Tree, And More.
The human mind is wonderful in its capacity for seeing familiar objects in the unfamiliar. NASA all claims we should be seeing a Christmas tree and a fox fur or some shit in this photo, but all I’m seeing is a vagina. Yes, a vagina. I’m sorry. I apologize. I see it. It glares at me.
JUPITER IS ENORMOUS. Here’s A Photo Reminder.
That gorgeous piece of insignificance being eaten up in the frame by Jupiter is Io. That moon is almost the same size as our own, and serves as a reminder of Jupiter’s enormity.
Mars’ TRAVEL POSTERS Make Me Wish For The Impossible
I want to travel to Mars. It ain’t that far away, and depending on your science-fiction author of choice there’s either gold, land, intelligent life, or something equally dope there. Ron Guyatt has put together these travel posters, and they have served to stoke my yearning. I’m ready! for the million-year picnic.
SPACE PHOTO: Robot Ship Docking With The ISS. This Is Like Totally Sweet.
This picture right here is the glory to kick off your post-Easter week. Feeling woozy? Questioning the bloat in that belly of yours? Escape it all by shucking your mortal flesh and galavanting up to the stars courtesy of this picture. Robotic supply ships! Space! Party!
