Scientists In California Create Star Matter. What Could Go Wrong?
Scientists in California clearly don’t care about bringing along the end of the Everything with their little experiments. They’ve done gone and replicated matter that can only be found in stars and giant planets. Oh who the fuck am I kidding, maybe it’s completely safe. And pretty rocking.

Video: Neil deGrasse Tyson Lays Down America’s Science Decline
Neil is the man, and I’d happily listen to him talk about anything. Here’s him breaking down the decline in American science in the past thirty years.
Video: First Footage Of A Comet Smashing Into Sun. Or Superman Powering Up.
Check it out!, solarians. I made that word up. Means you like..solars? Solar systemarians? Something like that. Anyways – whoever (whomever? fuck me here) you are – hit the jump for the first footage of a comet rocketing into the Sun. Or of Superman collecting some cellular oomph! before he goes to throw down with Metallo. I’m preferring the latter.
Chunks of Mars Crashed In Africa Last Year. THEY’RE AMONG US.
How inter(stellar) is this? While not the first time it occurred, chunks of Mars crashed in Africa last year. Providing us with delicious samples to extract obvious signs of life from. Muahahaha! Or they’ve launched a virus or multiple virii intent on taking us over. Infiltrating our science labs via single-celled organisms and…and…
Witch Head Nebula Is Colder Than A Witch Nebula’s..Oh Forget It.
Check out the Witch Head Nebula. At first I couldn’t see it and then it was all like g’damn! Blasted me square off the tits with its similarity to some witch I had a run-in with at a bar one-time in downtown Salem. Really mess affair involving cauldrons and steaming pairs of dungarees.
Wait, so what is actually going on here?
The Little Ghost Nebula Offers A Look Into Our Future Oblivion!
Behold the Little Ghost Nebula, founded by astronomy swagger beast William Herschel back in the 18th century. The fuck are you doing with your life? Herschel was finding nebula back in the comparative goddamn dark ages. This little quaint Nebula of Ghostiness may be a look into what’ll happen to our own star.
Astronomers Have Figured Out True Color Of Milky Way Galaxy. No Rly.
I didn’t know we hadn’t tagged the color of the Milky Way Galaxy. I always figured it was a gorgeous light chocolate brown with a…oh fuck it that joke sucks. Seriously though, I didn’t think we were puzzled by it. Well, we were! Now!, now we’re not.
This Supernova Is Missing Its Cosmic Companion In The Oblivion Waltz.
Take a drink in of that glorious supernova. Pretty swank, no? Gaze into the tempting eyes of solar systemtic oblivion. I’m just making up words, but roll with me! Roll with me, and feel for this supernova, which seems to be missing its companion star. Frown time!
Video: Two More Tattooine-Like Planets Orbiting Binary Stars? Force-Swoon.
There was a Tattooine-like planet discovered last year that orbited two stars. Swag! It was thought that this planet was something of an oddity, but apparently there’s a lot more Binary Sunsets occurring throughout the galaxy than previously first thought.
NGC 6946 Is The Face That Could Launch A Thousand (Space) Ships! Lit Puns!
Check out NGC 6946. Gorgeous spiral galaxy that faces us directly, and is located a mere 10 million light-years away. Start swimming!
