Sure, we all look around at the market of digital cameras out there, and we're all a little amazed by some of the resolutions out there.  Ten, twelve, fifteen megapixel...some pretty nice photos, right? Well, brace yourself, because this is going to blow your mind wide open. A camera being developed by Fermilab for installation in an ...

It's been a while since we last talked about anything that came out of the Hubble's memory banks, folks, so this is definitely an awesome slice of news.  Remember how we were saying before that Hubble's range was pretty much reaching the limit by grabbing stuff that started a billion years after the "big bang"?  ...

Recognize that downright iconic image at right?  Well, if you do, you're not alone, and you're one of the literaly millions of people out there who needs to spare a thought for a man named Stanley Lebar Lebar, you see, designed the TV camera that the Apollo mission folks took with them in orbit back in ...

Now here's an awesome sight for you, folks--colliding auroras. You know auroras, right? Those big bands of electromagnetic hoo-ha that make all the pretty colors in the upper atmosphere?  Yeah, those!  Well, apparently, the crew out at UCLA discovered something that no one had caught before now--sometimes auroras smack into each other, making those startling effects.  ...

You might not believe the idea that if you fire infrared light into space, it manages to make things at least temporarily visible that weren't before.  Thus, a three hundred and twenty million dollar infrared camera is going into orbit to get infrared pictures of celestial neighbors we didn't even really know we had. I know, ...

Seriously!  I really think it is, because the last time I heard about astronomical units of measure like this I was watching Star Trek! Anyway, news out today says that the Hubble's actually picked up some of the oldest galaxies ever seen.  And by any decent standard, these are monstrously old.  How old?  Their age is ...

I know, sounds like a bad joke, doesn't it?  But there are several central points of that post that make a whole lot of sense: 1. There really is a place called Tongue River 2. It has an elementary school 3. It will be playing host to a massive telescope array It's going to be part of a telescope ...

What you're looking at there is one of those fantastic picture that the Hubble keeps bringing back in an absolute superabundance, this one of the Iris Nebula.  The Iris Nebula, relative to us, is really, really far.  Basically, if you stood on earth and shot a flashlight beam in the direction of the Iris Nebula, ...

We all know that Google Earth represents some of the best satellite imaging technology available to modern man today--at least to the ordinary modern man today--and can take you places you never even dreamed of seeing and show them to you right on your computer screen. Well, out in the Pacific Ocean, there's a gigantic pile ...

You know how we've been covering the whole "pictures from space" beat out here for some time now?  Well, we're not alone--the Joseph Bellows Gallery is featuring a whole array of pictures from space in their show entitled Full Moon: The Apollo Missions. See, what you may not be aware of is that this year marks ...
