Even though ignorance seems to be all the rage these days, science is still cool. And the coolest part of science is pictures in space. Here’s a new time-lapse video with a bit of a twist from the EPOXI mission. It’s really just a video of the Moon passing in front of the Earth. It’s cool because we’ve never really seen anything like it and also because it’s real. No CGI, just the real Moon passing in front of the real Earth.

Disband the agency and invest the money in solar panels. Science is cool, NASA is becoming more of a novelty.
