What would the president have said if the astronauts had become stranded on the moon? These speeches aren’t alternate history; they are actual documents that were luckily never needed.
Science Buzz NASA’s just published its “most amazing highest resolution image of Earth ever” in a photograph called “Blue Marble.” Check out the 8000x8000-pixel image here if the one below isn’t large enough for you.
Science Buzz Cosmic portraits of awe and wonderment to make you feel either existentially insignificant or sublimely at one with the universe. Or you'll just go, “Whoa.”

Men are from Mars, women are from…California? It’s been nearly 30 years since a country sent a lander on a mission to Venus but scientists at NASA are hoping to change that.

Go forth, young robot, and learn. Let’s break down the rover’s ambitious and costly trek to Mars in an attempt to find microbial life by the numbers.

Science Buzz Miraculously does not immediately kill entire crew. Science, we need to have a serious discussion about how everything you're doing is trying to kill us.
Science Buzz Apparently Hubble's camera isn't a point and shoot. Each image is composed of several photos which are compiled and modified with image editing software. This video shows how it's done. I don't know about you but knowing how heavily Photoshopped each image is kind of loses a bit of the magic for me.
Science Buzz When NASA's Juno probe leaves Earth this Friday for Jupiter, there will be three very special aluminum friends hopping a ride. This just in: NASA is sending a probe to Jupiter this Friday. Which proves that just because the shuttle is grounded for a few years, it's no reason to stop exploring our cosmic neighborhood.
