Texas Eclipse

Solar Eclipse in Texas

In case you’re like me and you missed last Sunday’s solar eclipse, here’s a great photo from down in West Texas.  This was shot by a friend of a friend, and I just happened to stumble across it on Facebook.

Also, here’s a nice timelapse video that catches the whole eclipse in motion made by high school science teacher, Cory Poole:

‘Daniel’ & ‘Space Babe’ by Twin Sister

May 22nd, 2012 | Space

 

 

Here’s a few tracks from the chillwave band Twin Sister.  They hail from Long Island, New York, and the band consists of lead singer Andrea Estella backed up by 4 skilled musicians: keyboardist Dev Gupta, bassist Gabe D’Amico, guitarist-singer Eric Cardona, and drummer Bryan Ujueta.

Andrea Estella really steals the show in my opinion.  Her style, voice, and stage presence are all top notch.

Head over to their website for some tunes, photos, etc.

All Of The Water On Earth

May 11th, 2012 | Space

The image above represents all of the water on the face of the Earth formed into a Moon-like sphere.  First of all, it looks pretty crazy to see the Earth without the oceans, pretty desolate actually.

 And secondly, I expected all of the water to look like a LOT MORE WATER.

Here’s an excerpt from the USGS:

This picture shows the size of a sphere that would contain all of Earth’s water in comparison to the size of the Earth. The blue sphere sitting on the United States, reaching from about Salt Lake City, Utah to Topeka, Kansas, has a diameter of about 860 miles (about 1,385 kilometers) , with a volume of about 332,500,000 cubic miles (1,386,000,000 cubic kilometers).

The sphere includes all the water in the oceans, seas, ice caps, lakes and rivers as well as groundwater, atmospheric water, and even the water in you, your dog, and your tomato plant.

If you’d like to see how this water is distributed, check out the graph below:

I also expected that biological water would take up a bigger piece of the pie.

Cosmic Pioneer Posters

May 1st, 2012 | Space

These gritty, space-inspired posters are from artist Megan Lee.  Each image portrays an iconic “rock star” of science with a symbol that represents their accomplishments.

From Megan:

“My biggest obstacle when making a new print for someones is reading and sifting through the accomplishments they are known for and turning that into something I can represent artistically. And make it look plain cool. I always want my work to be something I’d love to have on my own walls. I have to do a lot of research and studying in order to decide what I’m going to create for a particular person, and I find that the more difficult it is to figure out exactly what I want to design, the more I end up learning.

I like how she kept them nice and simple.  Head to her Etsy store for more.
