Tuesday, March 16th, 2010I’ve definitely thought about aliens before and the possibility of coming face to face with one, but I never really thought what my next step would be from there. That could be a problem. Lucky for all of us, this dandy list of how to handle “the most important moment in all of human history” [...]
Penguins In Heaven
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010I really wanted to name this post “Penguins In Space” since one of those zero gravity flights is the closest my waddling friends will get to the great unknown, but considering the fact that they can somehow afford a Zero G ticket, and from out of Antarctica no less, I’m pretty sure they’ll be getting [...]
Moonbow!!!
Monday, February 8th, 2010We can thank the sun for its hand in rainbows, but this fancy arch of a color spectrum is a luminous product of the moon, stretching across the volcanic Haleakala crater on Maui Island, Hawaii. I wonder how our favorite conspiracy theorist would feel about this?
She’ll probably blame it on Obama and the Russians.

Speaking Of Aliens…
Sunday, January 31st, 2010E.T. is right. You should never drink and drive. And whoever told you that story about him having like 6 space DUIs is totally lying. Kind of like all those lies they made up about Pee Wee and his… ahem… you know…
Now that’s a PSA of a man who’s never done anything wrong.
You go, childhood [...]
IMAX Hubble 3D
Thursday, January 14th, 2010I will pass on the suggestion from my friend Daniel for you all to head on over to the Apple Trailers site and watch this in 1080p. It’s only fair… Just make sure you’re near a bathroom or some linoleum floors because you will pee your pants. I mean it. You WILL pee your pants.
In [...]
Comet Vs. Sun
Sunday, January 3rd, 2010Wait for it…
Wait for it…
Wait for it…
BOOM! Comet! Go comet! Gooooooo com-

RIP Comet.

Time-Lapse Northern Lights
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009There’s something about the Northern Lights that makes me feel so warm and at home, no matter how bitter and cold it is outside. Probably because they used to follow me home from those late night choir practices at school. We were friends like that. I was actually lucky enough to get a peek at [...]
Saturn’s Moons Keeping It Real
Monday, December 28th, 2009I happen to be fluent in scientific mumbo jumbo. Allow me to translate you this little exerpt from the International Space Fellowship site.
To celebrate the holidays, the Cassini imaging team has created a video collection of “mutual events,” which occur when one moon passes in front of another, as seen from the spacecraft. Imaging scientists [...]
Tour Of The Known Universe
Thursday, December 17th, 2009About 10 minutes ago I walked by Joe’s office and heard all this ambient music pouring out of it. Being me, I decided to drop by and pay him a visit while doing a mystical serpent dance. Joe was in a trance staring at his computer. When he noticed my magical moves he informed me [...]
Norway’s Spacey Spirals Explained
Thursday, December 10th, 2009Those mysterious spirals in Norway’s sky managed to catch a lot of attention from people around the world and the poor souls who witnessed it first hand, understandable. Super conspiracy? Apparently not. And while a statement from Moscow confirmed a failed missile launch from a Russian submarine was the cause for the funky swirly, I [...]
Tee Time
Monday, December 7th, 2009Big bang theory, my breakfast! The gods were really just having an early morning snack.
The Milky Way tee is available from Threadless for $9.00 (was $18.00). Sale! Woo!
Ground Control To Major Bum
Friday, November 20th, 2009Because Toshiba knows a thing or two about awesome marketing, they sent a chair to space. Ok, so they didn’t put it on a rocket or anything, but they did tie it to a helium balloon and dang, those can go pretty high. Though I’m pretty sure this would have been equally, if not more, [...]

The Trace Of Time… Clock
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009Ah ha! A clock we can all see. And not only is it clearly visible, you can customize it to fit your busy schedule on a daily, weekly or even monthly basis. Better yet, the hand erases as it travels, thus clearing you and your planner for more business. Imagine it. You come home from [...]
DINOSAURS!!!! – Animatronics Make My Dreams Come True
Monday, October 12th, 2009Did I just die and go to heaven? Clearly not because I’m not even in that room. Good thing too. Who would have known what I would have done?!? Probably something epic/FAIL like trying to ride one of those things out of the studio. Holy Raptor Jesus, I want one (or all) of these dinosaurs [...]
The Other Apollo 11 Speech
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009Yesterday, columnist and presidential speech writer William Safire died at the age of 79. Today, we read the alternate speech he wrote for Nixon in the event that the astronauts of Apollo 11 wouldn’t have made it home from the moon 40 years ago. Both eerie and epic, these could have been the words we [...]
New Giant Planet Is Like, Such A Rebel
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009Guest post by Zane!
A new planet has been discovered by the the Wide Area Search for Planets (otherwise known as WASP), and apparently, it’s GIGANTIC. WASP-17 (as it is now affectionately called) is twice the size of Jupiter, making it the largest planet yet found, although it weighs only half as much as its little [...]
Y-Wing Fighter Bed
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009Guest post by Zane!
This incredibly detailed and totally awesome Y-Wing bed is currently for sale. Pictures of the bed were included in an online real estate listing for a house in California. The photos were given no explanation or context, but really they don’t need any. They scream, “I am worth the $365,000 asking price [...]
Mission To Mars – Your Name Here!
Monday, July 20th, 2009We’ve put a man on the moon, let’s put another car on Mars. This time around though, NASA is offering the public the opportunity to sign their name up to be included on a microchip on the Mars Science Laboratory rover destined for Mars in 2011. Yeah, that sounds cool and all, but how do [...]
