Space Shuttle Atlantis silhouetted against the Sun

Yes, this is actually a photograph of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. This was taken on May 12th, 24 hours after the launch of Atlantis, and it’s half way to the Hubble Telescope. Amazing.

The photo below is also of Atlantis, but take a closer look. There are two objects. One, Atlantis, the second is the Hubble Telescope. This photo was taken just minutes before Atlantis finally caught up with Hubble.

Both of these photos were taken from the Kennedy Space Center, by Thierry Legault. Check out the full photos, in all of their glory, over at Nasa’s flickr page.

Star Trek is a complete reboot of the franchise, and brings the classic to a whole new generation of eager sci-fi and movie geeks.

Pink Storm Trooper at the G20 Summit This photo was taken in London, during the G20 Summit this week.

What better way to join in with the thousands of protesters throwing rocks and breaking windows, than to throw on a nice pink Stormtrooper helmet and suit? It’s very fashionable, eye-catching, and delivers a point. Well…it doesn’t really deliver a point, but who cares? Geeks always have a unique way of protesting.

True BloodHBO has released the first promotions photos for the second season of their hit vampire show, True Blood.

I began watching True Blood when it first premiered last year. I was really getting into it…and then it ended; there were only 12 episodes in the first season. The show started off with pretty low numbers, with only 1.1 million viewers for the premiere, but the show ended strong with numbers nearing 7 millions viewers. It is now HBO’s most popular show since “The Sopranos” and “Sex and the City”.

Season 2 is now set to start on June 14th! Check out the first photos below…

Wolverine20th Century Fox has unleashed 8 new photos from X-Men Origins: Wolverine! Finally, some new Wolverine content! Photos are at least better than recycled and boring posters.

This movie chronicles Wolverine’s life, as a kid, as an adult, and as a mutant who doesn’t age and has the ability to heal. Not to mention he has some bad ass claws. We see him live through World Wars, we see him survive generations, we see him get his shiny adamantium claws, and we see the life in which he has forgotten about in the X-Men movies. Wolverine claws his way into theaters on May 1st!

Check out the 8 new photos below…

deathlyhallowsphoto2 These are the first photos from the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The 7th movie is being split into two parts, so I wonder if they’re shooting them both at the same time. I assume they are since the first part comes out in November 2010, and the second part in the summer of 2011.

These photos are not the most exciting things we’ve ever seen, but still, they’re awesome for all the hardcore Harry Potter fans out there; myself included.

I can’t wait to see how they take the 7th book and adapt it to the big screen. It’s going to be a lot more dark, and a lot more mature than the first Harry Potter movies. No more school, no more aunt and uncle; Harry, Hermione, and Ron are of age now, and on the run for their lives.

The 6th movie/book, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince opens this Summer, so don’t forget about that. With the last of the movies, and the books finished, what’s next for the Wizarding World and the story of Harry Potter? If you grew up with the books, and they got more mature as you got older, like with me, you have to wonder if we’ll ever see another book…
