The Jovian Minisat Explorer
submitted by Clement 162 days ago (via sci.esa.int)
ESA is planning on launching a mission similar to Saturn's Cassini but for Jupiter. One of the mission's main goals would be to try to discover if there is - or not, liquid water under the ice crust on Jupiter's moon Europa. We could then send "hydrobots" to see if there is any tiny hint of life in Europa's hypothetical underground oceans.

Wishing for Solar Maximum
submitted by Clement 188 days ago (via astronomybuff.com)
Damn, we're in the middle of the sun's low activity period, which happens about every 11 years. We'll have to wait a few more before lots of sunspots, cool flares, and amazing protuberences reappear

The Slackerpedia
submitted by Mojo 194 days ago (via slackerastronomy.org)
"The goal of Slackerpedia Galactica is to create an astronomy-themed version of Wikipedia, but in Slacker Astronomy style! That is, create factual pages on astronomical topics, but loaded with humor, jokes, cheesieness and the absurd." This wiki is really nice, it's really written in the same style as Slackerpedia.org: They Don't Care, and like to go crazy about astronomy subjects!

Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD)
submitted by Clement 196 days ago (via antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov)
The APOD is a service set up by the NASA which presents every day a picture related to astronomy, and below it an explanation of it by a professional astronomer. The APOD is one of the most popular astronomy websites on the net, and has been bringing to the general public the best pictures of the sky, coming from Hubble and Amateurs alike, ever since 1995.

Astronomy-Page is administrated by a 15 year old webmaster and amateur astronomer (me) , who's main objective is to pimp out astronomy on the internet, and make it reach its full potential.

Hubble shows 2 Interacting Galaxies: Arp 87
submitted by Alex 195 days ago (via esa.int)
Hubble has captured one of the best and cool shots ever: two interacting galaxies, just like the mice galaxies or the antennae. The pic shows the galaxies in high detail as well as the exchange of matter taking place between both galaxies. A nice foreshadowing of what might happen to our Milky Way when it collides with the Andromeda Galaxy (M 31) in about 2 million years' time. Check it out!
