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 ...
When’s the last time you looked at the stars? Have you seen anything worth mentioning? We have a very cool photo to show you today.

Now here's a quick dose of awesome for you this morning, folks: apparently, the Hubble Telescope, that former laughingstock turned invaluable contribution to science forever, caught the LCROSS...bombing? Landing? What WOULD you call it, exactly? Well, anyway, the Hubble caught it, and apparently it even managed to generate a pic or two. Sadly, we don't actually ...
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.

The word is in, folks, and the unsettlingly ambitious Planck space telescope from the European Space Agency has started returning images. Sadly, those images aren't being released to the public yet, but word is that they're extremely impressive.

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 ...
If you love stars and planets and if you especially love photography then you’ll surely like the latest Jupiter shots coming from the Hubble telescope.
