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

Tired of Saturn hogging all the ringed glory, Neptune recently showed off its own rings and moons for the James Webb Space Telescope, presumably hoping to score the centerfold in NASA’s monthly space erotica magazine Planetboy. Being able to see the icy giant’s moons was certainly cool, but, admittedly, its

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

This is a computer simulation of a pallet of wood being dropped on a car to visually compare the effect of gravity on different planets in our solar system. Is it accurate? Hell if I know. It was fun to watch though. And if it is accurate, I actually learned

This is a video from Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) planetary astronomer Dr. James O’Donoghue (previously), detailing how far you’d be able to throw a ball on other planets compared to on earth. I learned a lot by watching it. Mostly, that I’m not convinced I could even throw a

This is a video of the Ingenuity rotorcraft (upper middle of screencap) flying above the Martian surface. Ingenuity, the first flying craft deployed by humans on another planet, flew approximately 700-feet at an altitude of 26-feet before landing. The footage, albeit relatively unimpressive to watch if you pretend this is

Gravity: I wish it wasn’t so strong on earth. But only for me, I wish it was doubly strong for everyone else. But enough daydreaming about me leapfrogging over everyone all day, this is a visualization created by planetary space scientist James O’Donoghue comparing the gravity on various bodies of

This is a video created by Dr James O’Donoghue of the relative sidereal rotation periods of planets in 2-D. Sidereal meaning relative to background stars, of course. “Of course.” As you can see– “Uranus is backwards.” Like a front-butt? I don’t think so. No, what I was going to say
