And for all

you conspiracy theorists and ufologists out there, perhaps the Moonians will take the opportunity to try to send super-powerful moon-rays our way? Who knows?

Super Moon to arrive Saturday night

Oh, those Moonians! They're such Moonsters!

We all missed this yesterday

because it wasn't visible with the unaided eye.

Huge Asteroid 2005 YU55 Zips by Earth in Rare Close Flyby

In astronomical terms, 324,600 kilometers is a near miss...

One large step for Bible readers?

Moon Bible goes on sale in auction

I agree that it really is just an oddity. I'd prefer a historical piece of beauty, but to each their own...

Uh-huh

Raelians to “reclaim” swastika

'May the 4th be with you'

'Use the force, Luke...'

Force is strong for Jedi police

"Eight police officers serving with Scotland's largest force listed their official religion as Jedi in voluntary diversity forms, it has emerged."

But what if...

Outer Space Treaty

I'm reminded, in a way, of an old Bill Cosby skit.

What if there really is intelligent life out there? And what if this intelligent life is thinking (about our international space law) 'no you don't, either'? I guess you had to be there. The upshot is that I'm continually astonished at humankind's arrogance...

(This is where I might recommend that you read the book I'm currently reading, Moon Flower. Good book, and highly appropriate...)
