We all liked to get ’spaced out’ once in a while, get a lil’ ‘cosmic’ - see ’stars’ or what not. So this is a top 10 list of my astronomy photos of 2007 while ’space traveling’ YA HEARD!

10. A Comet Bursting Forth

Apparently comets are very hard for the naked eye to see. I say this is probably what Belushi and Farley saw before they took a permanent dirt nap. Pretty innit?

9. Black Hole on Mars

If I was a rapper and battling someone on Freestyle Friday on 106 & Park or some shit, I would carry a picture of this and claim that my guns could blow a hole as massive as this black hole on Mars. Science Thugzzz

8. A Giant Red Star Named Mira

I dunno if this shit is giant or red even, but I do think that ‘mira’ means come over here in spanish or something? Raekwon says it in ‘Ice Cream’

7. The Lover’s Embrace of ARP 87

Reminds me of British people saying, “The Lover’s Embrace of HARP 87″ I picture popping a few valiums to feel like how this looks.

6. Lightning at Weikerscheim Observatory

Doesn’t this look like one of those motivational posters you got as a kid at the book fair or something?

5. A Meeting of the Moons

You know it’s a gangsta party when Jupiter’s moons meet up like the after-party is just gettin’ started. There be some dusty mirror’s, solar system groupies, ice sparklin’ from light years away, COSMIC BALLIN’

4. Dark Matter Makes an Appearance

2 words, CHUCK ANDERSON

3. Chaos in Vela

This image shows the devastation wrought when a star explodes. The Vela Supernova Remnant formed when a massive star 800 light years away blew up 11,000 years ago. That’s some ‘Holy Shit’ action, son. Believe that.

2. Stereo Eclipse

When I was in highschool, the older kids would tell us how if you did more than three grams of shrooms, you would go to ‘the gate’- and how going there would change your life forever. I picture this before entering the gate, the eye of psychedelia saying, “You fucking think you are so awesome don’t you? Real proud that you got to the gate, you braindead fuck up”

1. The Beautiful Face of IC 342

This picture is pretty rad, but really, the real number 1 for ALL of my lists for 2007 would be this:
