Share I think I’m in love with a gas giant, Youdopia. I know I keep posting pics of space, and Enceladus, but I’m constantly amazed at the beauty. The Cassini probe just keeps taking amazing images.

26 May, 2010 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord by

Share I love the moon Enceladus, Youdopia. I love it because it orbits Saturn, the prettiest planet, although Neptune is breathtaking (no thank you. I don’t want to see your Uranus) and… Enceladus may very well have life. Enceladus shoots plumes of liquid water vapor, along with hydrocarbons (organic material) from its surface. There is [...]
