The Spacecraft Cassini Captured Some Raw Images Of The Icy Saturn Moon, Enceladus From Just 30 Miles

This new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows three of Jupiter’s largest moons parade (seems the perfect word for it) across the giant gas planet. This happens only once or twice every 10 years.

Here’s a more clear view to it:

This week, NASA released the most colorful, in-depth photo of the universe ever taken. It took the Hubble Telescope 11 years and 840 orbits to capture the 12-billion-year-old light of 10,000 galaxies.

Gravitational waves are real — and that’s a huge f***ing deal!

A century ago, Albert Einstein theorized there was such a thing as a fabric of space and time — that the universe was malleable, and that large objects and events would cause it to bend.

He was right. From studying the signals emanating from the merging of two black holes — have separate masses equal to 36 and 29 suns — scientists with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory were able to observe gravitational waves. Their measurements matched expectations of what Einstein predicted in his General Theory of Relativity.

M45, The Pleiades Star Cluster

Elon Musk has released this video of today’s Falcon 9 landing attempt. The first stage of the JASON-3 mission’s Falcon 9 touched down on the surface of the Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship around ten minutes after today’s 1:42pm EST launch.

However, according to Musk, landing strut #3 didn’t lock in to place properly, and vehicle toppled over. In this newly-released video, the Falcon 9 can be seen gently coming to land on the desk of the ship, falling on the improperly secured leg shortly thereafter.

Musk also said that preliminary data suggests ice build up from foggy launch conditions may have caused the strut to improperly secure upon deployment.

A Message from Earth (AMFE) is a high-powered digital radio signal that was sent on 9 October 2008 towards Gliese 581 c, a large terrestrial extrasolar planet orbiting the red dwarf star Gliese 581. The signal is a digital time capsule containing messages that were selected through a competition. The message was sent using the RT-70 radar telescope of Ukraine’s National Space Agency. The signal will reach the planet Gliese 581 c in early 2029. Many people including celebrities and politicians participated in the AMFE project, which was the world’s first digital time capsule where the content was selected by the public.

Scientists are getting closer to finding the ninth planet

California Institute of Technology scientists shocked the world when they announced the possible existence of a ninth planet in our solar system earlier this year. The only problem is the finding is based on a mathematical model, not on direct observation. The planet orbits so far out on the fringes of our solar system that it likely takes up to 20,000 years to make it around the sun. Spotting it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. But that haystack just got a bit smaller.
