Our universe is so rad!

Just saw those two planets next to each other. Jupiter and saturn I think?

[Simple Torture]

People are calling it the Christmas Star around these parts.

Me too!

Leave it up to people to call two planets in conjunction a star.

Complete cloud cover here

[Norah]

Way too cloudy here. I guess the wise men aren't showing up.

I'll be sure to think of all RMers under the clouds when I view it this evening.

this was yesterday.

It is best if you can watch this on a large screen or cast it onto your tv etc. A small screen phone just doesn't do it justice. (Edit: You can see Jupiters moons on the second imagery they show if you are in the dark)

I have a decent deep-space telescope and that is exactly what Jupiter and Saturn look like through it... Jupiter with its stripes and its little moons (in a straight line extending upper right and lower left of the planet) and Saturn looks just like a basketball going through a hoop.

I had friends and an uncle who literally fell on the grass after viewing each of these fucks.

The miraculous thing about yesterday is that both were within the same viewfinder / view/ scope of a telescope pointed at them


If yesterday the night was clear and there wasn't a foot of snow in the yard, I might have been able to behold this for myself, but alas, this is second best

[elliseamos]

That is cool.

I liked this one with the ISS, too.

Newly discovered - straight onto the endangered species list

This is really cool. Imagine your remains, even your ashes being the furthest out in the solar system and onwards.

This really is something else. The speed involved in the descent. And they landed it.
Brilliant

Is this the generic Science thread?
