The amazing and cool photo thread

[Touring Mars]

The highest resolution image of our neighbouring spiral galaxy, M31, allows us to see individual stars in a galaxy 2.5 million million million kilometers away. The full image is 4.3 GB in size and is downloadable from here: http://www.spacetelescope.org/images/heic1502a/ and a great zoomable version is available here: http://www.spacetelescope.org/images/heic1502a/zoomable/

Radio Kootwijk on the Veluwe. It's a building used in the first half of the 20th century for communication with the Dutch Indies. After that it was used for radio astronomy.

I know the picture has been shopped a bit too much but it shows the grim look of that concrete cathedral in the middle of nowhere.

Life would be so much better if I were allowed to safely pick my kid up by the neck and have her go limp.

At 1:41 a.m. on January 27, 2014, a NASA sounding rocket launched from Poker Flat Research Range 30 miles north of Fairbanks. The rocket arced through the upper atmosphere and ejected seven instruments that measured voltage and currents from an aurora display over Kaktovik.

I don't see any "Bacon" Hopefully it's already on the plate and not burnt beyond recognition I can tell bacon or sausage was cooked before egg
