These space posters are amazing. And then you find out they were made by NASA and they get even more amazing. The one for Mars is trippy af.

Consider yourself warned!
- Our universe is almost certainly going to die a heat death in which energy in the universe shall be spread so thinly that everything will freeze, the stars will burn out and not shall be left but eternal darkness.
- We might live in a multiverse. If in fact, we do: basic statistics shows that we may in fact be more likely than not be a computer program, living in a sort of simulated universe. Yes, there’s actual scientific research being done to figure out if we’re a hologram and others trying to make progress into multiverse theory.
Imagine the existential horror if we turned out to be the artificial intelligence of someone else’s universe!
- There are almost certainly a multitude of “rogue black holes”, secretly drifting through the Milky Way. If one were to drift into the solar system it could spell our end… that’s obvious though I’m sure.
- As many of you are aware, Earth’s been sending out signals for around a century now. The fact that these signals get exponentially weaker doesn’t mean they stop existing:
Who’s to say such signals can’t be detected by some advanced-and-none-too-benevolent extraterrestrial civilization?
After all, we astronomers regularly tout our exponential advancements in the search for extraterrestrial life. Maybe next time you see that light moving against a backdrop of stars it… never mind. It couldn’t possibly be…
- Certain galaxies, like M87, emit jets of matter at near the speed of light. The high amounts of energy speeding out of these galaxies could, in some cases, end life in any solar system it were to point at:
I hope all the stars above you still seem pleasant!
I’m not necessarily advocating in favor of any of these events and don’t necessarily think any of them are likely but for each item above, there are astrophysicists who do…

Rare White Curtain Auroras Seen Over Finland
Behold stargazers, this is not an art installation. These are actually stunning white Northern Lights in Finland. The stunning Aurora Borealis resemble a white curtain, which seems to be made by photoshop; but we promise you they are organic beauties made by the hands of Mother Nature.
Halloween is over… Let the spooptivities begin
Have you found it weird that the earth’s axis is tilted by 23.5 degrees and wondered what led to this? Wait, Where did the moon come from?
Well, Here’s what scientists have theorized.
Theia, a mars sized planet collided ( it glanced and thankfully did not collide head on, else it would have destroyed earth ) with the Earth around 4.553 billion years ago.
Theia’s debris gathered together around Earth to form what we now call- The Moon.
The collision between the early earth and Theia was so immense that it tilted the axis of rotation of the early earth by 23.5 degrees.
And it remains tilted so that way even today!!
Scientists have a very good reason to believe in the Giant Impact Hypothesis:
Earth’s spin and the Moon’s orbit have similar orientations.
Moon samples indicate that the Moon once had a molten surface.
The Moon has a relatively small iron core.
The Moon has a lower density than Earth.
Evidence exists of similar collisions in other star systems (that result in debris disks).
Giant collisions are consistent with the leading theories of the formation of the solar system.
The stable-isotope ratios of lunar and terrestrial rock are identical, implying a common origin
Have a good day !
PC: sarice,
yes.
I couldn't help but laugh maniacally.

:( all the time
do you not realize that jared is the fucking joker? do you not fucking realize the work jared put in to getting in the fucking role changed him? do you not realize how psychotic and deranged it fucking made him?
Hello, folks! I mainly like to post things of the space, cartoons, and caffiene variety. Enjoy your stay! :)
