  • Can you hear the sounds of the static noise

    Can you hear the sounds of the static noise

    NASA has an explanation for the 1969 music on the moon.. It’s not exciting. They say it was just static.. Just normal everyday, or space, static..

    And I want to believe. I will believe in music in space. Even if they don’t want me to.

  • Fireball ‘2nd only to Chelyabinsk meteor’ explodes unseen over Atlantic

    Fireball ‘2nd only to Chelyabinsk meteor’ explodes unseen over Atlantic

    Fireball ‘2nd only to Chelyabinsk meteor’ explodes unseen over Atlantic :

    This is amazing .. Startling.. Concerning?

    100s of space rocks are always soaring snd flying by.. But this ‘second only to Chelyabinsk’ Atlantic strike is alarming..

    The largest meteor since the one that exploded over the Russian city of Chelyabinsk in 2013 burned up over the open ocean some 1,000 kilometers from the Brazilian coast on February 6, NASA reports.
    An extraterrestrial body allegedly the size of a large living room, about 5 to 7 meters across, released energy equivalent to 13,000 tons of TNT, which is 40 times less than the Chelyabinsk phenomenon.

    The object entered the atmosphere before exploding at approximately 30km above the Atlantic. It couldn`t be observed from the ground as it fell too far away from any populated area unlike the Chelyabinsk meteor, which hit the city with over 1 million dwellers, damaging nearly 3,000 building and causing multiple injuries.

    And let’s not forget the March 5 flyby..
    Closest in a long time.
    Beware the sweeper effect..

  • NASA wants to send art to asteroid Bennu

    NASA wants to send art to asteroid Bennu :

    NASA wants to send art to asteroid Bennu – CNN.com.. An interesting prospect..

    NASA is inviting the public to send art to an asteroid on its new spacecraft: the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer, or OSIRIS-REx for short. The probe will be the first to collect a sample of asteroid and bring it back to Earth.

    I have a few ideas for artwork.. Maybe I’ll pen up a daily doodle and send it NASA’s way, perhaps I’ll share it on here..

    What do YOU think a valid piece of artwork would include?

  • Astronomer behind the ‘alien megastructure’ discovery can’t rule out aliens

    Astronomer behind the ‘alien megastructure’ discovery can’t rule out aliens

    Astronomer behind the ‘alien megastructure’ discovery can’t rule out aliens:

    This is amazing..

    At this year’s TED conference in Vancouver, Tabetha Boyajian, the astronomer who oversees Planet Hunters and was the lead author on a paper investigating the star’s light patterns (aptly called “Where’s the Flux,” or WTF) said she still can’t rule out aliens — though even she admits it would be highly unlikely.

    “At this point, we haven’t been able to rule out aliens, and haven’t been able to confirm natural theories either,” she said in her talk.

    Unlikely that it’s aliens.. But likely that it’s something we never saw or knew before..
    Amazing but times we live in. And amazing something from 1,500 years ago..
