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 ...
Take a look at this incredible shot from space--the merger of two separate galaxies into one. A little more from the steadily growing Hubble telescope collection shows the galaxy known as NGC 2623, which is a pair of colliding galaxies two hundred and fifty million light years away from us. The galaxies have already merged at their ...
Wow...this is just a really unbelievable picture here. Bringing together data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, what you're looking at at right is a picture of two supermassive black holes only three thousand light years apart. But what astronomers THINK we're looking at is the joining together of two black holes ...
Just in case you might have been wondering, folks--here's a shot of the moon, with annotations added, showing the target site of the upcoming LCROSS mission in which America gets its bomb on on the surface of the moon. The target crater, Cabeus, is a pretty tiny hole in the moon, relatively speaking, but is a ...
Over the years--decades now--that we've been out in space, we've left a lot of random bits and pieces and detritus floating in orbit. Today, we've got a picture of the earth, WITH the junk in the shot. The pic comes to us by way of the European Space Agency, and gives you a visual representation of the ...
Well, this is a game changer, make no mistake about THAT one. There is water on Mars, so says the University of Arizona. Check out the specifics: The UA-run Phoenix Mars lander scraped the surface of our planetary neighbor to verify the presence of frozen water on Mars and now cameras orbiting above the red planet have ...
Man, you've got to love those crazy kids at MIT...what won't they do next? What they did do this time around was show up NASA like there was no tomorrow. While the beleaguered space agency is whining and complaining about how they can't get enough money, a group of kids at MIT is blowing them out ...
It's not just the Hubble that's bringing back some really amazing pictures of space any more, folks--check out this shot of the Hydra A galaxy from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The physics of this shot pretty much eludes me, despite the fact that I read their description no less than three times. Here, take a look ...
And so the Hubble space telescope continues to bring back absolutely amazing images, another of which we will be taking a look at today. Today we've got the dragon galaxy, which as it turns out, isn't really a galaxy so much as it is an optical illusion. When you take a look at that picture to ...
Wow. Sometimes you can't help but look up and see the incredible things that are lurking just past breathable air on Earth. Of course, sometimes you can't see some of these incredible things because you live in the wrong place or you had lousy weather conditions or what have you. But check out this incredible ...
