FLAMING SKULL NEBULA is SPACE meets SWEET TOOTH
…or Scorpion, if he is your favorite video game character with a burning dome piece. Travis Rector has taken a hell of a photo of this particular planetary nebula, and a lot went into it that frankly fries my own skull. Setting it also ablaze. Some sort of circle of life type shit.
Hit the jump for a full look at the beautiful bitty, as well as for some more info.

VENUS’ SURFACE got that MOLTEN SURFACE, looks like MOLTEN CORE. WOW Reference FTL.
Hey man. So what if I was running around a mere eight (Jesus Christ what am I doing with my life?) years ago in Molten Core? It is the first thing I thought of when I glimpsed this beautiful reconstruction of Venus’ surface. Not a world of the Worlds? The Wars? The Crafting? Then drown me out as usual, and check out the real deets after the jump.
(THERE WAS) DRINKABLE WATER ON MARS according to Opportunity
Imagine sucking down a cold glass of Martian water? Well, we can do it. What’s needed for this task? Uh, well it’s a bit complicated. A time-travelling spaceship, stocked with a crew and such. Me? I’m just there to drink the water.
MARS got a BANANAS Northern Polar Ice Cap.
Woah! What a dumb first line. Whatever. Double woah! Take a look at Mars’ northern polar ice cap. There are some seriously impressive natural forces taking place in this picture. Forces so majestic in scope that I cannot even begin to understand them. I’m just here for the free chicken and pictures!
TRAVELLING TO MARS would GODDAMN KILL US with RADIATION right now.
Jesus Christ, ain’t this a downer. With current technology, the amount of radiation our asses would absorb on the way to Mars would prove pretty fucking terminal. Don’t let that shit get you down though! Just another hurdle to cross.
LET’S CROWDFUND A F**KING SPACE TELESCOPE. Asteroid mining company turns to Kickstarter.
Planetary Resources Inc is turning their eyes towards us, folks. They want us to help crowdfund a space telescope that they intend on using to look for asteroids to mine. Should you choose to help out, there are all sorts of bonuses. Unfortunately, none of them are a perk which allows you to find your own space asteroid, and crown yourself king of it. Ala motherfucking Magneto and shit. Drats. None the less, you down?
Space Swoon: THE BLUE SUN roars in an extreme light.
Man, we have all sorts of fancy lights and shit these days to view the cosmos. Dropping violet lights on Sol in order to view its activity isn’t even special anymore. Let us use the various lenses and thingies and whatever to view sunspots. Let us use technology I can’t grasp to behold the source of our light.
SPACE PORN: Come on down to GALAXY COVE
My lordy, this is a gorgeous image. Taken by Rogelio Bernal Andreo, it depicts the Milky Way Galaxy as seen from a secluded park in none other than California.

NASA draws (unintentional) GIANT DONG on the surface of Mars. Space Freud.
I’m glad that the aliens watching us fumble around our (obvious) initial birthplace on the surface of Mars get to bask in our ability to draw giant cocks. Oh yeah sure, we totally “didn’t mean to draw a furious cock on Mars”, but at the very least we have gone full Space Freud.
