Tech Buzz The premise of this game is that there are some things in space that you need to blow up. Like, right now. Some great boss battles in this one. Have fun.
The Relax Far Infrared Ray Sauna spa treatment doesn't actually use a Snuggie, but in following a similar framework, allows for total arm freedom during while one allegedly burns off “more calories in 15 minutes than a 45-minute cardiovascular workout.” Also, you're a fat robot now. WORTH EVERY PENNY!
Holy smokes! NASA released this image of the Los Angeles fires as seen from a satellite in space. It was taken mid-morning on Aug. 30 and shows the smoke plumes rising approximately 4.3 miles above sea level.
NASA unveiled a new service today where you could add your name to a list that will be included in the next shuttle to Mars, and two reddit users took advantage of the oppurtunity to make their voices heard.
Onboard cameras capture the amazing journey of Atlantis into space, and the dramatic return of the solid rocket boosters. Fast-Forward to 2:25 to get to the really cool part!
Check out this super-cool photo of a Russian volcano eruption as seen from space. Those lucky duckies on the International Space Station took it, and scientists are excited because it shows the shock wave and top of the blast steam bubble. I'm excited because it looks like a marshmallow covered with that disease my goldfish always get.
Tech Buzz If a space shuttle goes down, you can now blame Twitter. Astronaut Mike Massimino (or Astro_Mike on Twitter) became the first person to tweet from space, while in orbit on a spaceship meant to service the Hubble Telescope. I was totally kidding about the space shuttle crash, but people really shouldn't fly and tweet.
A small, dense object only twelve miles in diameter is responsible for a beautiful X-ray nebula that spans 150 light years.
Science Buzz NASA may name a space toilet after Stephen Colbert after he urged viewers to vote for him. Falling behind were nominees “Earthrise,” “Legacy,” “Serenity,” and “Venture,” which Colbert claimed sounded more appropriate as flavors of “organic tea.”

NASA is keeping an eye on an piece of an old Soviet satellite that might come too close to the international space station. The shuttle Discovery is on its way to the station now.
Science Buzz After a five-year long alcohol-induced slumber, NASA's Mars Odyssey Orbiter awoke yesterday, wondering, “Woah, Universe, where am I?” Hope you slept well, sweet prince. Now just dust off those space rays and get back to work.
We track the battle between left-wing and right-wing sites on important news topics. At 12:40pm on February 27, 2009. we detected breaking news about “Obama’s Budget: $4 trillion in spending, a $1.75 trillion deficit, and another $750 billion bank bailout”. This page shows the headlines about “Obama’s Budget: $4 trillion in spending, a $1.75 trillion deficit, and another $750 billion bank bailout” from both sides.
Science Buzz Check the east/southeast sky tonight around 9 to catch a glimpse of this wee, green comet. It's a mere 30 million miles from Earth, but you'll still need binoculars at the very least to see it.
If the Milky Way were navigable via the London Tube, it might look something like this. The transfer from the Outer Line to Sagittarius at Galactic Center takes forever during rush hour.
On December 24th, 1968, Apollo 8 Astronauts Frank Borman, Jim Lovell & William Anders sent a Christmas message back to earth as they orbited the moon. Less than a year later, humans walked it. Seasons Greetings, from the John F. Kennedy Space Center!

NASA's space shuttle Endeavour is a reusable spacecraft that's been on 22 missions since 1992. The Big Picture has some great images that show one full cycle in the life of the shuttle, preparing for and executing a trip to the International Space Station.

That's one small step for man, one giant leap for astronauts not looking like mournful lighthouse droids. Good choice, NASA!
A group of Cambridge University students sent four teddy bears into suborbital space last week. The “intrepid space teddies” made it back to Earth intact, but frozen solid. Most adorable astronauts ever!
I don't know what crimes these teddy bears committed to deserve this treatment, but they were sent up into space in a homemade weather balloon by a group of schoolchildren in England who are a lot smarter than I am. More great images of the teddies' journey and the full story here.
A rare astronomical event aligned the stars on December 1st: Venus and Jupiter twinkle like two eyes above a crescent moon. This is an amazing shot.
