Word of the day- awesome

Here are some awesome things about the awesome universe we live in!

First, here's an awesome timelapse video of a flight to San Francisco that shows the aurora borealis.  Awesome.

Second, on March 28th, astronomers may have witnessed a star torn apart by a black hole.  I mean, black holes are pretty fucking awesome, and this one is particularly more bad ass than some of the others out there.  Take a look at the story and images here.

Third, NASA has set up a really cool database called GRIN, or Great Images in NASA, that you can browse to check out some of the best photos of significant historical explorations and discoveries.
Here's an example of the Earth, but they also have photos of equipment, people, space shuttles, and space exploration... How awesome is space??

Fourth, there's also the awesome HubbleSite which has some of most unbelievably awesome photos:
Beautifully awesome! 
Anyways, I hope you take the time to check out some of this awesome stuff, and I will leave you with an awesome song of the day that has a music video set in space
