Scientists Find Evidence of Liquid Water On Mars’ Surface. Awesome.
Scientists have evidence of liquid water on the surface of Mars. This makes my geek boner dial itself up to eleven. While we’ve known for some time that there lurks frozen water underneath Mars’ surface, scientists have identified what they’re calling seasonal streams of liquid water across the planet’s surface.
Awesome.
Scientists Find 96 New Star Clusters In The Milky Way! Rock.
Enlarge. | Via.
Stars form in big ass groups known as open clusters. People smarter than me have tabulated that there should be about 30,000 of these sons a bitches lurking out in the Milky Way. Limited as we are, we haven’t found nearly that many.
Recently however, we found 96 more. Stick with it, boyos!
Oxygen Molecules Discovered In Space For First Time! Frak Space Helmets!…Right?
Oxygen molecules have been discovered in space for the first time! This explains why the Silver Surfer has always been buzzin’ around the cosmos wearing nothing but his birthday suit. Right? That’s totally how it works. Oxygen in space means no space helmets, dongs out! No? You’re certain it’s not?

Check out Kn 61. It’s a planetary nebula that looks like those soap bubbles you can blow with those magical wands they sell at convenience stores and the like. Perhaps the Omnidimensional Creator had a son or daughter who was bored and it gave them the most enormous of soap bubble matter spewing wands. And thus Kronberger 61 was born. Or maybe it’s the remnants of gas that was sent into space by a dying star. I think I like my explanation more.
One Black Hole Contains 140 Trillion Times the Water On Earth. What A Hog.
There’s a black hole out there a mere 12 billion light-years away that contains 140 trillion times the water on Earth. Son of a bitch is hogging all those resources and here we are feeling guilty for peeing in the ocean and running our showers too long. Greedy piece of space shit.
