Sony Offers Up New PS4 Teaser Video
Sony has just released a teaser video that barely gives us a glimpse of the Playstation 4 hardware. It’s obvious that they don’t want the boys from Redmond getting all of the attention.
They also mention that you can “see it first” at PlayStation’s E3 Press Conference live June 10, 2013 starting 6:00pm Pacific Time at http://us.playstation.com.
A Big Explosion On the Moon
Traveling at 56,000 miles per hour a 40 kilogram rock slammed into the moon creating an explosion equivalent to 5 tons of TNT. The event happened on March 17th and was so bright it was actually visible from Earth with the naked eye. This is by far the largest explosion that NASA has detected since they started monitoring impacts on the moon in 2005.
The moon is no stranger to impacts as you can clearly tell just by looking at the image above. What makes this recent impact so cool is the fact that it was relatively large. Most of the impacts on the moon’s surface are tiny by comparison, many of them merely a few centimeters wide. Anything is possible and someday we may even see a larger rock smash into our moon.
Thanks to Wired for the update.
Chris Hadfield Leaves the ISS With A Cover Song
Commander Chris Hadfield has made an awesome video, actually he’s made quite a few awesome videos, but in this last one he says goodbye to the International Space Station as he gets ready to land back on Earth by creating an performing an amazing cover of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity”. The video offers something to this song that no other video can and it fits his situation perfectly, it simply captures the moment and the view of Earth is stunning.
‘Ring of Fire’ Solar Eclipse Today: How to Watch Live
From Space.com
The moon will block part of the sun today (May 9) to create a potentially amazing “ring of fire” and you can watch the celestial sight live online.
The “ring of fire” solar eclipse — known as an annular solar eclipse— will be viewable (weather permitting) over certain areas of Australia and islands in the Southern Pacific Ocean where the local time will be Friday (May 10). If you don’t happen to live in those parts of the world, however, you can still catch the cosmic show.
The online Slooh Space Camera will host a free webcast featuring live views of the eclipse today, beginning at 5:30 p.m. EDT.
