The fact that there is Statues on the Red Planet’s surface that resembles statues on Earth constitutes for enough evidence to at least speculate that life as we know it on Earth, (at least us Humans anyway), once inhabited Planet Mars for possibly tens of thousands of years, maybe we even terraformed the Earth to resemble a Planet we once called home or maybe we were placed here by our own kind to preserve Human-Kind as an interstellar war was waged somewhere out in deep space. You never know, RIGHT..

Geminid's Meteors will peak tonight and tomorrow (13th - 14th) with rates expected to be around one Meteor per minute under clear conditions with the most meteors visible from midnight tonight to 4 a.m. on Dec. 14, when the radiant is highest in the sky,

The Geminids are active every December, when Earth passes through a massive trail of dusty debris shed by a weird, rocky object named 3200 Phaethon. The dust and grit burn up when they run into Earth's atmosphere in a flurry of "shooting stars."

Skywatching is easy. Just get away from bright lights and look up in any direction! Give your eyes time to adjust to the dark. Meteors appear all over the sky.

Not all the meteors you might see belong to the Geminid shower, however. Some might be sporadic background meteors, and some might be from weaker, active showers like the Monocerotids, Sigma Hydrids and the Comae Berenicids.

It is mind boggling to think of the amount of Galaxies and Solar Systems in the Ultra Deep Field by Hubble ST, but isn't it even more mind boggling to consider that there is no other life out there in Space, from one image we peer at Millions of Galaxies each harboring Billions of Solar Systems and unimaginable amounts of Planets, it is crazy to think we are not alone in the Universe but it is even more Crazy to consider that we are!

The construction technique is a mystery, the builders are unknown, yet the artistic brilliance found at this temple is out of this World, it depicts life on Earth and some of the creatures that can be found here, a celebration of sorts, if we can’t replicate this today then how was it done thousands of years ago? It simply defies logical understanding

Few astronomical sights excite the imagination like the nearby stellar nursery known as the Orion Nebula. The Nebula's glowing gas surrounds hot young stars at the edge of an immense interstellar molecular cloud. Many of the filamentary structures visible in the featured image are actually shock waves - fronts where fast moving material encounters slow moving gas. The Orion Nebula spans about 40 light years and is located about 1500 light years away in the same spiral arm of our Galaxy as the Sun. The Great Nebula in Orion can be found with the unaided eye just below and to the left of the easily identifiable belt of three stars in the popular constellation Orion. The featured image, taken last month, shows a two-hour exposure of the nebula in three colors. The whole Orion Nebula cloud complex, which includes the Horsehead Nebula, will slowly disperse over the next 100,000 years.

Some storms on Jupiter are quite complex. The swirling storm was captured late last month by the NASA's robotic Juno spacecraft currently orbiting the Solar System's largest planet. The featured image spans about 30,000 kilometers, making this storm system just about as wide as planet Earth. The disturbance rotates counter-clockwise and shows a cloud pattern that includes light-colored updrafts thought to be composed predominantly of ammonia ice. These light clouds are the highest up and even cast discernable shadows toward the right. Juno will continue to orbit and probe Jupiter over the next few years as it tries to return data that help us to better understand Jupiter's atmospheric water abundance and if the planet has a solid surface underneath these fascinating clouds.

In December of 1972, Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt spent about 75 hours on the Moon in the Taurus-Littrow valley, while colleague Ronald Evans orbited overhead. This sharp image was taken by Cernan as he and Schmitt roamed the valley floor. The image shows Schmitt on the left with the lunar rover at the edge of Shorty Crater, near the spot where geologist Schmitt discovered orange lunar soil. The Apollo 17 crew returned with 110 kilograms of rock and soil samples, more than was returned from any of the other lunar landing sites. Forty five years later, Cernan and Schmitt are still the last to walk on the Moon.
