Joshua Kutryk, a Canadian astronaut from Alberta,
is currently at the International Space Station
doing a couple of space walks, among his other duties!
So in his honour, here's a few memes and LOLs
about our big, beautiful universe!
For some unknown reason, NASA wouldn't let
Joshua bring along his pet cat --
And speaking of the recent eclipse --
texting everyone in my friends list “see what happens when you disobey me?” when the eclipse starts
NASA also recently released
the closest image ever taken of Jupiter --
Commentary by @hamletthedane:
#Vincent Van Gogh is crying somewhere in the afterlife and I’m crying just thinking about that #you knew!! you saw the patterns!! there is a whole planet painted in the oils from your brush!!#TIL that the craft Juno went as close as 4000km from Jupiter’s weather surface #for context: the craft was closer to Jupiter than NYC is to LA #which in space terms is like basically being on the planet #holy shit
For its next feat, NASA will try to eat the Moon --
And does this next bad joke EVER get old?
Not to those of us who have
a sense of humour like
an adolescent boy!
While playing Trivial Pursuit years back, SG and I were partnered. Our question was, “what is the 2nd largest planet in the solar system?” I said Saturn and he asked, but how big is Uranus. And he was sincere.
ReplyDeleteMy wife is now longing for new fabrics!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, that picture of Jupiter!
ReplyDeleteLove these! Great post! R
ReplyDeleteLove these. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteOMG the kitty eclipse!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that pic of Jupiter.
XOXO
🥰😻 Wonderful collection! All great in their own way. My favorite is that damned cat licking the Earth so hard it starts spinning the wrong direction on its axis!! 🌎🌀😱
ReplyDeleteThat's Jupiter for real? It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI have a Uranus joke on my blog today, so clearly it will never go away.
ReplyDeleteThat image is Jupiter is glorious.
I'm happy to just stay here!
ReplyDeleteI've actually been to Uranus! It's a kitschy tourist stop a couple of hours from my house. Everything is 'punny' and geared to the humor of an adolescent boy.
ReplyDelete@ Kathy G -- Oh, what riches that store must contain, hahahahahaha!
DeleteIt's actually a whole compound with a restaurant, fudge factory (get it?), general store, photo ops, and side show museum
DeleteIt could be fun to build a space station for cats.
ReplyDeleteThat's Jupiter? Oh, my heart.
ReplyDeleteLOLOL. Good ones!
ReplyDeleteWe missed all the celestial shows this year due to cloud cover. Every. Damn. Time.
That close-up had me thinking of that painting immediately. Aww...the red and black kitty!
ReplyDeleteThat image of Jupiter is just astoundingly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure at first that you weren't joking around about that being a picture of Jupiter. It DOES look painted!
ReplyDeleteI didn't see much difference during the eclipse, except that it felt like we had shaded lights. And it was somewhat eerie.
ReplyDeleteoh my cod!! dee solar eclipse!!!
ReplyDeleteI laughed at the funnies, natch, but Oh.My.Stars!!!! the picture of Jupiter!?!?!?! Mind blown.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea he was from Alberta!
ReplyDeleteVan Gogh would certainly be inspired by that image!
A fun post, Debra. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the levity this morning -- we could all use a break from gravity!
ReplyDelete@ Tundra Bunny -- GROAN!
DeleteI love the cats...and Saturn! These are great, Debra!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the funny memes. But the image of Jupiter is amazing! So beautiful!.
ReplyDeleteLove the cat eclipse.

@ Kathy G -- Oh my gawd, the fudge factory on Uranus! Reminds me of that horrible ditty I learned from various class clowns in elementary school (complete with hand gestures) -- "Milk, milk, lemonade / 'round the corner, fudge is made!" Sheesh, adolescent humour, hahahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteThe cats solar eclipse made me LOL!!
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine going into outer space?? Wild. And to think, some people have a hard time just maneuvering across town.
Great post. I love this photo of Jupiter.
