A Freaking Sick Video NASA Made

HELLO DEARIES! Sit your silly self down! Open your ears, its time to do some listening! (Don't think I don't see you in the back there drifting off already, come on sir we haven't even started yet). Since we’ve known about the Orion Nebula for such a long time a lot of really cool stuff has been created about it. Our favorite people at NASA recently created this epic video.

(Giving myself a pat on the back for figuring out how to put a video in here! Woo go me!) Now stay with me here but its a video that shows you what the inside of the Orion Nebula could look like (Imster 2018). That's really freaking cool honestly. I have no snarky remarks or anything that's just amazing. I mean come on, just a hundred years ago people still thought Cocaine was a cure-all (Villa 2018), the car was just being innovated, and people were still arguing over whether or not women should vote. We’ve come a long way people! The progress we’ve made is insane. Look at me, you remember those awful pictures I showed you of the Orion Nebula that people took back in the day?(Yes I am going to force you to look at them again don't question me Janet!).

(YES I KNOW, its still terrifying to look at but bear with me here people.)


 Well now we’ve dialed our pictures of space up to 100 put it on adrenaline and let it go wild. (Just because I kind of like you guys I'll be nice and put a pretty picture for you dorks to look at).

(This is legit one of the coolest things I've ever seen)


For god's sake we can see thousands of light years away, which is just not even possible to comprehend at this point. So yeah we should be overly excited about being able to look inside the Orion Nebula, don’t lie to me you know that's pretty freaking cool. It's so amazing how far human knowledge has come and I always wonder how we got to where we are cause honestly humans are pretty stupid, me included obviously; we wouldn’t have this blog if I was some sort of Astronomy genius.

An Artists Rendition of the Planet Gliese 581c Retrieved from: http://www.cosmographica.com/spaceart/exoplanet-gliese581c.html Hello to the few people that read this! (How’s the day going Professor?). I hope you all are ready to have some knowledge thrown at you! So pull a chair up, take a seat, and lets get to learning! Now I know I talk a LOT about space but I never really talk about the planet we live on (Don’t get to excited; I see you perking up a bit back there Tom). Let’s not get too carried away here people; I’m not gonna talk about Earth, Nay Nay, I’m gonna talk about planets that are LIKE Earth (No Tom I’m not talking about Aliens! Sit down before you hurt yourself man). So our favorite people over at NASA have spent many years staring at the sky in hopes they will find a planet like our very own Earth. I bet some of you are getting a bit excited but keep your shirts on, NASA has not found any planets that are 100% like Earth. When I say “Like Earth” I mean how like...

Hello my good people! Now I know some of y’all are here to listen to me ramble for a couple hundred words (and I love all my readers, that’s right Professor you’re the best!) and the rest of you are wondering how the heck you ended up here (Don’t worry Sam, it’s not like I can see you through your camera or anything… or can I…?). We’re gonna be doing something a bit different this week folks. This week I’m going to tell you about the amazing thing that just happened in recent space news (I like that, “Space News” it sounds very official for something I just made up!) Now that I’ve got your attention (Well most of you… PATRICIA! Gurl pay attention please. I am trying to expand your knowledge, you can text your BFF later. Trust me you might want to hear this….maybe not? Aaand we’ve lost Patricia. Dang! Welp the past in the past they always say!) Let me tell you what happened. So sit yourself down! Open your ears! It’s time to do you some learnin’! Ok backstory time! I’m sure some of you ...

~Hello everyone~ (or to whomever reads this). This is a blog that I have made for a class I am taking in College. So basically my Professor wanted all of us to each make a blog. So I have made this Astronomy blog and thought to myself "If I have to do this, why not have fun while doing it?" So welcome all who come to this random google blog, welcome to my own personal train wreck. But I will say this, I am not an expert at all when it comes to Astronomy so if I get anything wrong do not hesitate to correct me. Without further adieu, Welcome to Rando Badly Explains Astronomy !
