Exploring the Depths of the Oceans (Infographic)
As fascinating and needed space exploration is, we still have a lifetime of marvels here on our own planet to explore.
Recently James Cameron became only the second person to hit the bottom of The Mariana Trench, the deepest part of any ocean.
Here is an infographic describing his journey while showing the need for more oceanic exploration.

Earth 7 Billion Years From Now An Epic Story
I originally found this awesome bit of work put together in GIF format, but decided to break it down frame by frame to allow you to read it at your own pace. Epic is such a cliche phrase to use, but I honestly can’t think of another word to describe this. I Wonder how or if the human race will survive to be able to witness the end of our great planet? You can view the original full size GIF...

4 Billion Years of Evolution in 40 Seconds
This short clip is from Carl Sagan’s Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. I love watching this and seeing how Carl Sagan gracefully patches together the birth of life on this planet from creation until now. It’s amazing!
If you haven’t seen the show, it’s a 13 episode series that was first aired in 1980, was once the most viewed television series in US history, and has been viewed...

Incredible Timelapse of Comet Lovejoy Streaking By...
The above picture was a recent NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (click to enlarge) that shows Comet Lovejoy flying over the Paranal Observatory in Antofagasta, Chile.
We showed you how Lovejoy made its death-defying lap around the Sun, but failed in showing you just how beautiful the comet is. Luckily, the below time lapse video was made that catches not only Lovejoy, but yet another awesome...

Solar Flares, A Stunning Perspective
If you have ever wondered why there was so much hoopla when scientists predict solar flares then this video will put them in pretty big perspective. When common flares are 30 times the size of Earth, it is no wonder why satellites and anything else in Earth’s orbit isn’t safe!

@AnonCircle posted this great little picture on Twitter. I’m not sure where this was hanging at, but it’s a great message. Inevitably if you took one of the hanging URLs it would take you to Caltech lecture on evolution titled, Evolution: How We Know it Happened & Why it Matters (with Dr. Donald Prothero). The video is the full lecture and is close to two hours long, but...

Comet Lovejoy Takes Trip Around The Sun, Lives To...
Growing up I always had this thought that if something got even remotely close to the Sun that it would just disintegrate into nothing. I mean, after all, the Sun’s surface is several million degrees.
That was not the case for a newly discovered comet named “Lovejoy”. Scientists tracked the two football field-sized comet as it traveled within 75,000 miles of the Suns surface...

Being able to view the Milky Way with any kind of clarity is a sight like no other - being able to get a time lapse video is even better. That is exactly what astrophotographer Harley Grady has been doing the past couple years and the results are astounding. Below is a montage video that brings together many of his videos into something that can only be described as cosmic bliss.

12 Amazing Pictures From 2011's Last Total Lunar...
If you were lucky, this morning you may have seen an amazing large red Moon as the Moon fell into Earth’s shadow. West Coast Americans got the best view and the the further east you go the less visible it became. The best views came from Australia and the Pacific Ocean. Luckily, there were plenty of pictures taken. Here are 12 courtesy of Twitter:

Crazy Physics, How You Work?
Have you ever seen a bumper sticker like this, scratch your head, then keep on driving? If so (or not) it’s just a nerds way of saying “slow the hell down”. What it is referring to is the Doppler Effect which says that if someone or thing is traveling relative another object (say, the sticker) really fast (the speed of light fast) then the Doppler effect will cause a blue shift...

Ever Wondered Just How Small We Really Are?
A few days ago I posted a graphic that was meant more to be funny, but at the same time it was a cool way to show just how small we really are. Well, if that picture wasn’t clear enough these will be. To sum it up - we’re pretty small. If these aren’t big enough then click here to see a huge version.

Creationism vs Evolution
I’m not saying either or is right, I mean hell (pun?), we had to come from somewhere/thing. Yes, evolution has some rock solid facts and evidence, but even going back to the very, very, very beginning (14 billion years ago) what/who made the big bang? I don’t believe that before then there was just…nothing.

Amateur Astronomer Captures Rare Glimpse Of Infant...
The photo above was taken by Rolf Wahl Olsen, ‘amateur’ astronomer from New Zealand. The word amateur should be used lightly, as these are the first shots taken of the planetary disk surrounding the popular star Beta Pictoris (β Pic). Olsen took the pictures using a 10-inch telescope from his home. Here are the mind boggling equations he used to get his picture!
First I collected...

Record Breaking Storm On Saturn Has Been...
The largest storm seen on Saturn in more than 21 years has now been encircling the planet for a record-breaking 200 days.
First appearing as a tiny blemish on Dec. 5, 2010, the storm is still going strong today, surpassing the ringed giant’s previous longest tempest, which lasted 150 days back in 1903. NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, in orbit around Saturn, has given astronomers a front-seat view of...

3D Printing - It's Not Just Science Fiction...
By now I am sure you have heard the term “3D Printing” and if you’re anything like me you blew it off to gimmicky -easy bake oven- technology. If you are just as moronic as me then prepare to have your mind blown. Below is a clip from National Geographic’s Known Universe that shows the printer in action.
Now all we need to do is learn how to build print with other...

An asteroid some 1,300 wide, code named 2005 YU55, will come just slightly closer than the moon’s orbit on November 8th.
The encounter is being called safe and scientists say they “fully understand the asteroids trajectory”. NASA, who will be tracking 2005 YU55 with the Deep Space Network antenna starting November 4th, say the asteroid will not have...
