This image is an x-ray survey taken in the constellation Bootes from the orbiting Chandra X-Ray telescope. Here’s an excerpt from their […]
Today’s astronomy porn comes from the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS). In 2008, NASA plans to smash some hardware into the moon to try and find water. Finding water on the Moon would dramatically simplify setting up bases there since we wouldn’t have to carry it with us, a heavy proposition.
Here’s […]
Ok, I know I’ve been going nuts with Saturn images for the majority of my Astronomy Porn posts, but you gotta cut me some slack because it is really the coolest planet. C’mon, you gotta admit it.
Furthermore, it’s at opposition which means the views will not be this good for a few years. […]
Earlier this week, the Hubble Heritage released an image taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (the one that died recently).
This image was assembled from images taken in January thru February 2006. It is an image of a galactic cluster in the constellation Centaurus, inspiringly known as Abell S0740.
The big blob in the middle […]

Emily Lakdawalla had posted the initial attempts last week at assembling the photos into one larger one. Yesterday, Emily wrote that Ian Regan had put […]

Excellent work. This is a truly unique view of Saturn, it is […]
Comet McNaught is a very bright comet, the brightest seen in 40 years. It also holds the distinction of being the brightest comet the SOHO spacecraft has ever seen. Launched in 1995, the Solar & Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) has been providing unprecedented images of the solar disk in soft x-rays and ultra-violet […]
Today’s Astronomy Porn comes from Brian Jolley, who captured this beautiful image of M31, the Andromeda Galaxy, our sister galaxy.
The dust lanes are clearly visible and the stars are all nice pinpoints. Excellent focusing. The details of how the image was taken were not published on his Flickr album, so I can’t give […]
Yeah, baby. You know you want it, and I want to give it to you. We all love looking at pictures of our beloved cosmos, it is one of my favorite pastimes.
And because this is my blog and I can do what I want, one of the things I plan to offer you […]
