I'll admit, I spend WAY too much time online. Sometimes I stumble across things that I think you might like to see, too. I thought this time lapse video of the view from the international space station was pretty cool...
As a tribute, Internation Space Station Commander Chris Hadfield covers David Bowie's Space Oddity, while floating in space. Just thinking about it gives me goose bumps.
The European Space Agency landed the unmanned spacecraft Rosetta on the surface of Comet 67P yesterday. This was the first time something like this has ever taken place. But what's even more breathtaking is the weird recording that's been made of the comet.
According to Storm Team 3 Chief Meteorologist Rob Perillo, if you are wanting to get a glimpse of the comet Pan-Starrs tonight, you need to be looking up (with binoculars for best view) around sunset.
Just days after a fiery meteor came crashing down on central Russia, scientists say they have now discovered a mysterious green jelly that may be some sort of space residue or “astral jelly,” a substance commonly associated with meteor showers.
