Aurora

Sigh.

The aurora borealis photographed over Finland in January.

I wish I live where I could photograph auroras. Also via National Geographic.

Space, bitches!!

Fresh snowfall on one of Saturn's moons.

A space "snowball" crashes through one of Saturn's rings.

Friday Ripley

I iz napping. Goez awai pleeze. 

Oh wait, dere be feathers on a stick??

Ripley still loves those feathers on a stick (as does  Maddie.) A big thank you to (I think) Kid Ranger, who sent a whole bunch of them to the gurlz when they where little. It was the plushy gift that STILL keeps on giving.

No waxes here

RIP beloved Zoey

Barry in Alaska writes today to say that his beloved pirate kitteh Zoey reached the end of her life today. She suffered a small stroke and has gone to the rainbow bridge. But never fear, Lion Kitteh Maxx has been summoned and will be along shortly to take Zoey on a journey to the stars on Comet Maxx.

RIP dear girl. May the afterlife be filled with snoozy blankies, alien carrots, delicious treats and long, lazy naps. You will be missed. I am certain that every day with you was a gift.

SPACE!! bitches!!

Via Bad Astronomy Blog, an incredible photo of galaxy NG 634 photographed by Hubble. It's 120,000 light years across and 220,000 light years away from us.

Making it an excellent candidate for a destination for my fiendish teabagger relocation project.

Kittehs GALORE!!!
