30 Doradus, located in the heart of the Tarantula nebula, is the brightest star-forming region in our galactic neighborhood. It is home to several million young stars; among which live the most massive stars ever seen. The nebula resides 170,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small, satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. No known star-forming region in our galaxy is as large or as prolific as 30 Doradus.

Hey Space Mom, I had a shitty day today, like the shittiest. Can you say something positive to me ?
Did you know that adult cats only meow at humans? They don’t meow to other cats. Cats learned to meow so they could talk to us. It’s possible cats learned to do that noise because humans are poor imitators of animal noises. it’s possible that cats mimicked us mimicking them
I’ve been talking a bit about space shanties lately but this is hands down my favorite space shanty of all time like I legit wanna tear up listening to it
Why isn’t anybody on my dash, like, super pumped about the Orion launch this morning? This ship is built to go farther than any manned ship ever built before. This is the ship that takes humans to deep space. This is the ship that takes humans to Mars. It had its test launch this morning and its kind of a big deal because this is the ship that’s gonna bring in a new era of space travel. Welcome to the Mars age.
Nothing is illegal in space
Seriously my favorite picture of all time
rule no. 1: always reblog
yes light a blunt in space because an open flame in a 100% oxygen environment is a totally great idea and nothing could ever go wrong
Pretty sure they aren’t 100% oxygen anymore singe Apollo 1.
I’m pretty sure it has to be because if it was 20% oxygen and 80% nitrogen like it is on Earth they wouldn’t be able to breathe because it’s not pressurized as much. At least thats how they do it with space suits. I’m not sure if they pressurize the shuttles enough for it to be the 20/80 comp.
From this STS-112 Q&A session:
Ted from Chapel Hill
What is the composition and pressure of the atmosphere inside the space station?
Well the pressure is just the same as here on the ground, 14.7 psi. And the composition is just the same as air. We have, inside the air revitalization systems, what they call a major constituent analyzer that looks at the composition of the air, and then we have the capability to adjust it to make sure it stays just as same as it is here on the ground. Nitrogen, oxygen and all the other stuff.
Okay yeah here’s a chart I found as well on the MIT site
Astronauts just found life in space, we kid you not
Russian cosmonauts have discovered something remarkable clinging to the outside of the International Space Station: living organisms.

Exoplanets, all that we have verified. And if you don’t feel like clicking on the link and viewing the mouse-over text, a little extrapolation says that just the likely planets in our one galaxy would require a chart three to four orders of magnitude larger. So yeah, there’s a lot of planets out there.
Let’s ensure we have the best tools to study them, shall we?
