Arecibo Observatory, the world’s largest radio telescope and the source for the SETI@home data that your computer analyzes, faces massive budget cuts that will END its ability to continue the search for life beyond Earth. The decision to ensure full funding currently rests upon votes in Congress on Senate Bill S. 2862 and House Resolution H.R. 3737. These bills [...]

For those who have felt bad for our little Pluto who was stripped of its title a couple of years ago of being considered a ‘planet’, perk up, all other little psuedo planets shall from hence forth be called a plutoid in honor of Mickey’s dog. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Pluto, demoted from planet status in 2006, [...]

Okay, it’s really a cloud, but given our tendency to take abstract patterns and glom them into something relatively familiar - we get the Starship Enterprise. It’s nice to know that while we fumble about with space flight and much, much slower than light travel that the boys and girls from Starfleet are [...]

We all know in this day and age it’s virtually impossible to fake something like this. I mean, there’s just no way that some amature could put this together without hundreds of dollars worth of equipment and minutes of time on their hands. Still, it makes for a fun watch. Has anyone called [...]

You have it here third, or maybe fourth. That’s right all you SETI fans and LGM enthusiasts, you can rest easy on your laurels - thanks to Google Earth and intrepid research sites like “Secret Bases” we can now bring you definitive evidence that the RAF and British Government are speaking to Aliens in space [...]

Is a photo of the Space Shuttle in Space art? What’s your opinion?

14. March 2008

I’ve had an internal debate going on in my head now for a bit and I’d like to get your opinion. I guess this cuts to the core of the “What is art” debate. If an astronaut who is not consciously trying to be an artist takes a picture of the space shuttle, like the one [...]

SpaceX chucking all kinds of stuff into Earth orbit in the next three years

It seems our friends over at SpaceX are hurling lots of objects into space! This is great news for independent (as in, not the government) space agencies. Of particular interest to me is the Bigelow Aerospace launch to take place sometime in 2011. Bigelow Aerospace is that [...]

We all know about Abell 1835 IR1916 (not pictured above). That galaxy that just happens to be the furthest and thus oldest galaxy ever seen by Hubble. It’s just about 13.25 million light years away - far even compared to driving through Texas, and this galaxy’s been around for about 97% of the [...]
