Hey guys! as you may have noticed it’s a little quiet around here lately (I will continue to be active, I just haven’t been finding a lot of cool new stuff to post). Feel free to submit your own photos or facts and I will @ you in the post, just dm me or use the asks feature if you’d like to :) submissions will always be open, so don’t be afraid to share anything with me 💪

When we’re contemplating the existence of life beyond our planet, it’s worth considering that we’ve discovered microbes inhabiting spaces on Earth where the idea of survival was previously inconceivable.

@celestialcreamcheese What do you think, Lin?

[celestialcreamcheese]

@oreobubu Thanks for the tag! I’m definitely no expert but in my opinion it’s totally possible there’s alien life out there, especially since as of what we can observe, the universe has no end. There’s probably millions of planets out there with the correct conditions for life, and I think it’s possible that not all life even needs the requirements life on earth might, I think it’s hard to imagine we could be the only planet in the entire universe that houses life. There could definitely be some sort of extraterrestrials living out there, intelligent or not.

Storms are present all over Jupiter’s surface, here’s some on it’s Northern pole captured by Juno. This photo was taken with the spacecraft only 18,906 kilometres away from Jupiter’s clouds.

Know as the Sunburst Arc, this galaxy is so massive that it bends space, distorting the view of the galaxies around it. You can read more about it on this NASA article here!

This is an image of a spiral galaxy called NGC 3432. It may look linear to us, but that’s because we see it flat on its side from the earth’s view!

Ya love to see it

This is a newly released image of a nebula called NGC 1535, or ‘Cleopatra’s Eye’. Discovered in 1785, this nebula was photographed by NASA in a study of over 100 planetary nebulae.

Hey y’all! Sorry I haven’t been posting lately, here’s some Saturn pics for your patience 🧡

Here’s some stunning photos of Saturn taken by NASA’s voyager I and II. (The two on the right are using false colour imaging to create those vibrant colours)

This is a picture of the top of Saturn, featuring a hexagonal storm on its North Pole which has most likely been going on for decades.

YOU GUYSS STOP TELLING ME THIS LOOKS LIKE A BOOB 💔💔

This image of the moon is actually a mosaic of 53 different pictures taken by the Galileo spacecraft, and assembled in a false colour scheme to better show the composition of different minerals on the moons surface.

Jupiter’s moon Io is one of my favourite looking planets- and according to NASA, the most volcanically active in the solar system.

This is ‘a map of the moon’s gravity field’ created by NASA’S Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory, which shows many craters on the moon’s surface created by countless impacts.
