Originally made in 2018 but updated with sick 4K graphics and narration by EpicSpaceMan (aka Toby Lockerbie), this is Melodysheep’s ‘Entire History Of The Universe’. The timelapse packs 13.8-billion years into roughly 10-minutes, where every passing second represents 23-million years. That’s hard for me to wrap my head around. Granted,
Our sun: in the grand scheme of stars in the universe, there’s really nothing that special about it. It’s only special to us and our life here on earth. It’s just an average yellow dwarf, the sort of sun that would float under everyone’s radar in high school. And this
Floppy disks: they’re a thing of the past. And space: it’s the future. And, okay, my past, but I did grow up there. But enough about how stars are born, these are a couple enhanced videos of astronaut William Shepard ejecting floppy disks in space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery
Preparing for our return to the moon in coming years (it’s about time), the recently completed Artemis 1 mission successfully made unmanned moon-flybys with the Orion space capsule, which was just recovered from the Pacific ocean. Artemis 2 will see manned moon-flybys, and Artemis 3, humanity’s return to the moon
Taken by astronauts Eugene “Gene” Cernan, Ronald Evans and Harrison Schmitt on their way to the moon on December 7th, 1972, The Blue Marble depicts earth as viewed from some 23,000 miles away, and just celebrated its 50th birthday yesterday. What a photo! And they captured it from just the
Note: If you search for NASA DART on Google you get an Easter Egg. NASA successfully smacked an asteroid with a spacecraft traveling at 14,000 MPH in an attempt to alter its trajectory in a first-ever test of planetary defense, should an asteroid ever be discovered that’s on a collision
This is a 10-hour video of Jupiter rotating in real time, completing one full revolution in the process. Now don’t expect a tilt-a-whirl here, it takes ten hours to complete one rotation, so it’s slow to the naked eye. But to the eyes wearing a sexy lace thong like mine
Hot off the press from NASA come these incredible images of the Cartwheel Galaxy, an absolute stunner of a galaxy some 500 million light years from earth. I remember the last time I attempted a cartwheel my shirt rode up and everyone laughed at my belly. Not cool. The galaxy
