Milky Way Galaxy Spitzer Telescope

This infrared photograph was taken by the Spitzer Space Telescope. “The region pictured here is immense, with a horizontal span of 890 light-years and a vertical span of 640 light-years. Earth is located 26,000 light-years away, out in one of the Milky Way’s spiral arms. Though most of the objects seen in this image are located at the galactic center, the features above and below the galactic plane tend to lie closer to Earth.” – Click to enlarge, or click here for a super high resolution version (29MB).

Would you buy a house from this man?

Yes, yes I would.

At first I was wondering why he photoshopped his head onto a sheep’s body, and why the sheep was wearing socks. Then I saw his last name is Lamb. That still doesn’t explain the socks though. Maybe they’re supposed to be space boots. A sheep with a man’s head wearing space boots…in space.

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.

Here’s a high resolution photo taken during the repair spacewalk. These photos are instantly classic, and are definitely some of the most exciting and interesting space photos I’ve seen. Click on it to check out the full photo over at nasa.gov.

I know a lot of people probably haven’t even heard of this movie. Well, here it is.

Moon stars Sam Rockwell as Sam Bell; a man who’s been living on the Moon for 3 years, mining the gas Helium 3. Helium 3 is the answer to Earth’s energy crisis. Why is one man doing this, and not an entire team to get it done faster? Beats me.

As you can see from the trailer, he obviously begins to become insane from being alone for so long. If the only physical contact you had in 3 years was a computer named GERTY, you might go a little crazy too.

Moon has been rounding all the film festivals this year, and is set for a limited release in theaters on June 12th in the United States. So, if you’re not lucky enough to catch this one in theaters, you’ll probably be waiting for the DVD.

Make sure you watch the trailer above, then check out the poster below…

LEGO Star CruiserIt’s a trap! Thomas Benedikt has created Admiral Ackbar’s star cruiser from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.

He used over 30,000 LEGO blocks, and took 11 months to build it. Not only that; he took it to a “hoe nuva level”. The ship even has LED lights throughout, giving it a realistic look against a starry backdrop. You can read all the specific build details here.

Check out some awesome pictures of the ship lit up, and in closer detail below…

This is a music video for the song “Happy Up Here”, by a band called Röyksopp. This is one awesome video; enjoy it.

Sorry if this offends you; I’m not trying to be sexist. I know there are horrible men and women drivers, but these 2 videos are just too much. So much space, so little wheel cutting. Bonus video of another woman trying to park, with 3 other women helping her; after the break.

They’re calling the game “Dead Space: Extraction”. Sure, the graphics won’t be as amazing as Xbox 360 or Playstation 3, but I’m glad to see the Wii getting more and more games that aren’t shovelware; like balloon popping and dart throwing games. Look for Dead Space on Wii towards the end of the year.

sttwmDo you really need another reason to go see Watchmen? Probably not; but now you have one.

Paramount Pictures has announced that the third Star Trek movie trailer will premier in theaters on March 6th. I’m sure you can assume that it’ll be in front of Watchmen, because last time I checked, that’s the only movie people will be seeing on March 6th. So, go see Watchmen, and get to see a brand new Star Trek trailer; two wins in one night. Watchmen hits theaters on March 6th; less than a month away!
