This map (infographic) shows when and where you can watch every eclipse in the next fifteen years.
We haven’t heard from ET. Is it time to re-think the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence?
Have no idea which shuttle this is but the angle this image is taken from is really cool.
This Starship Enterprise NCC-1701D of Star Trek was fabricated in one-billionth scale by 30 kV Ga+ focused-ion-beam CVD using phenanthrene gas. It is 8.8μm long
A shot taken early last year by lake Mývatn up in northeast Iceland. The "smoke" is actually steam coming from a geothermal plant near Námaskarð.
A small, newly discovered comet will not get a chance to enjoy its fame for long. As you can see in this image sequence obtained by NASA’s Solar and Heliosopheric Observatory, the comet is on a collision course with the sun. Things will not end well for the comet, which will burn.
A different astronomy and space sciencerelated image is featured each day, along with a brief explanation.
Gliese 710 should arrive sometime in...
Using a massive detector buried deep in the Japanese Alps, the T2K project will study the oscillation pattern of neutrinos -- ghost-like particles that make up a large part of the bulk of the universe.
HM Cancri has been confirmed as a binary system of two white dwarfs orbiting one other so close, they complete one orbit every 5.4 minutes.
Enrico Dini is building sandcastles on the moon. His giant 3-D printer is the first of its kind with the potential to print whole buildings, and it makes them out of solid rock, cutting down a thousand-year-long process into a few minutes. It uses sand, but someday it'll use moon dust.
Courtesy of Hubble’s cameras – capable of rendering stars emitting light of various wavelengths that reflects their life-stages — we are presented with a far-reaching mosaic of the cosmos, an image threatening in its beauty to Van Gogh. - Hubble 3-D is a must see.
Russia’s latest endeavor to produce commercial grade lighter-than-air aircraft seems a little strange. The “aerostatic thermoballasted vehicle” from Locomo Sky looks like something straight out of a 1950s UFO movie.
We may finally have proof that general relativity applies to cosmic bodies great and small, and that dark matter and dark energy are real. The theory of gravity proposed by Albert Einstein nearly a century ago can explain the dance of galaxies around one another just as well as it can model the motion of planets around the sun.
