"empowering women by sending katy perry to space for 2 minutes" shut the fuck up. samantha cristoforetti was the first female commander of the international space station and she became an astronaut because of star trek. and there is a real chance she is a kirk/spock shipper

The moon dressed as Saturn.

NASA released the clearest pictures yet of our neighbours in the solar system

Oh and of course us

Honourable mention

Different chemicals in meteors produce different colors; the faster a meteor moves, the more intense the color may appear(x)

In 1977 NASA compiled 116 images to represent Earth and put them on a gold record and put it on the Voyager space probe and due to it not being aimed at anything this record will probably outlast Humanity. Unless we catch up to it one day its unlikely this record will never be viewed in the next thousand if not million years. And yet you can't look at all of these images on NASA's website because of copyright. Yup this isn't an existential post anymore it's anti-copyright. It's been 60 years, time to let these pictures enter the public domain.
