LITERALLY ME OH MY GOD
So scientists have discovered the biggest structure in the universe. Its a quasar group that stretches 4 billion light years end to end
can you even IMAGINE
HOW BIG THAT IS
THIS IS FUCKING INSANE OK
Four pairs of what astronomers are calling “impossible stars” — stellar twins in orbits so close they defy explanation — have been found in our Milky Way galaxy, scientists say.
WHAT
As the cool stellar companions spiral in toward each other, their magnetic field lines may become twisted and deformed. This powerful magnetic activity may help slow down the spinning stars, allowing them to move closer together, the researchers explained.

Planets of the Solar System as they might appear in our skies, if they took the Moon’s place.
HOLY HORRIFYING

Villain in disguise: Jupiter’s role in impacts on Earth
Jupiter is often credited for shielding Earth from catastrophic asteroid and comet impacts. But new simulations of the influence of gas giant planets in solar systems casts doubt on Jupiter’s reputation as Earth’s protector.
Wow, betrayed.
The Monument to the Conquerors of Space, Moscow.
Erected in 1964, this monument celebrates the early success of the USSR in the space race. The monument itself depicts a rocket rising up on a plume of exhaust.
The base of the monument features a relief design that depicts all stages of Russia’s journey to space. It pays tribute to key heroes such as the rocket scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, as well as the contribution of the Russian people.
For any of you artsy types, this work is a great example of Socialist Realism.
I was like WOW COOL AMAZING
and then i saw Laika and I cried
Rendezvous with Ramais a book written by Arthur C. Clarke about an alien space colony that shows up outside Earth.
The design for Rama pretty much set the standard for all space colonies in science fiction (including the Citadel in Mass Effect)
JUST THOUGHT I’D SHARE THAT
The southern lights photographed by the crew of Endeavour (STS-68).

Image credit to NASA? More like building a spacecraft that regularly transported human cargo to and from the edge of space for the best part of 30 years credit to NASA.
oh my GOD
NASA Official Saturn Audio Recording 2003
Recordings by NASA, they are the sounds made by the planets. This is the planet Saturn.
ok im scared
It’s scary but calming me down at the same time
This sound is so nice and is actually legit. Time on this recording has been compressed, so that 73 seconds corresponds to 27 minutes. Since the frequencies of these emissions are well above the audio frequency range, we have shifted them downward by a factor of 44
This is both amazing and fucking scary at the same time.
I’m actually crying what is happening omg
I love this.
