Poor Jupiter

Hit by another asteroid. Well, I guess that is the downside of being the most massive planet in the Solar System. Go here to read about it and see the damage.

The Heart of Darkness

Well, of black holes at least. Go here to learn more.

Titan video

Not the parents of the Greek gods, but Saturn's largest moon. Read about it here and here.

Spitzer Space Telescope: The Musical

No, I'm not joking. Watch it here, if you dare. Enjoy? Please leave reviews below if you actually watch it...

Now you see it...

Now you don't. Kids, don't let you satellites re-enter the Earth's atmosphere unless you WANT it to burn up in the Earth's atmosphere (which JAXA actually did for this mission since it was returning samples to Earth). Watch the re-entry here.

The Exploding Sun

Okay, the Sun is not going to explode itself. But look at these images of violent eruptions on the "surface" of the Sun taken by NASA's new Solar Dynamics Observatory and you might be surprised that it isn't.

Dancing Moons

In projection, at least. Go here to see what I'm taking about, courtesy of the Cassini team.

Colliding aurorae

That's right. Colliding aurorae. As in, stream of charged particles trapped in the Earth's atmosphere colliding together. And people caught it on video. Watch here! I personally think that is really awesome.

Shadowy Moons...

Moons can eclipse each other as the orbit their respective planets, as proven in this pretty amazing video from Christopher Go, an amateur astronomer in the Phillipines. Video courtesy of spaceweather.com. Enjoy!

Antarctic Webcam

The European Space Agency's (ESA's) satellite Envisat is observing the Wilkins Ice Shelf in Antarctica on a daily basis since it is at risk of breaking off. To watch the resulting video, go here, and enjoy!

IBEX Spacecraft launched

Dropped from an airplane, the rocket which contains the IBEX spacecraft flew into orbit this Sunday. To watch the launch go here.

Video of Cargo Ship leaving International Space Station

Yesterday, one of ESA's automated Jules Verne cargo ships which bring supplies to the International Space Station undocked from the Space Station to "return" to Earth (read: burn up in the Earth's atmosphere, this particular kind is not reusable). The video of this undocking procedure is available here. Hope you enjoy!

Neat Movie of the Moon transitting the Earth

NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft, on its way to its rendezvous with Comet Hartley 2, recently filmed this video of the Moon "transiting" the Earth - essentially passing between the Earth and this spacecraft, absorbing some of the light being emitted by the Earth. This technique has proven invaluable in detecting and studying planets orbiting other stars, and in fact Deep Impact is currently looking for an Earth-size transiting planet around red dwarf GJ436, as part of the EPOCh project. Enjoy!
