Kylie Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Emelee, I love that picture of the moon. It looks like a fragile glass sphere that could be easily shattered! How cool would it be if we could see the planets so close to us?! That picture of all of the galaxies has long been my favourite picture. I'd love to buy it in poster form one day. Oooooh! I absolutely love those vintage posters! Thanks for sharing, Melodious! I'm going to bookmark them for sure. I've love to have a few of those on my wall! Speaking of cool astronomy gifts, I love this necklace, which comes with 10 interchangeable nebula designs. You can also get them as bracelets and rings.

Kylie Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 New Horizons made its closest pass to Pluto around an hour ago. Exciting stuff! NASA will be receiving lots of data and the clearest pictures ever taken of Pluto. Here's the best picture taken to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolf woolf Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I agree, it's a really cool picture. The New Horizons spacecraft will now continue through the Kuiper Belt and hopefully gather information for the next eleven years. Here's the NASA overview and an FAQ on r/space, if you want a quick read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
