Tor.com shared some amazing photos of a ballgown whose bodice is made from the spines of old books!

Astronaut Peggy Whitson has officially spent more time in outer space than any other American.

On Wednesday, NASA announced that Jeanette J. Epps would be the first African-American astronaut to board the International Space Station as a crew member.

Astronauts on board the International Space Station took the Mannequin Challenge.

This past weekend, NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson set an unusual record: at age 56, she's the oldest woman in space.

Yes, the Earth really is round (no matter what the Internet tells you), and the best way to experience it is with 360° video. The amazing pictures that astronauts have sent back to Earth from the International Space Station can only do so much, but this video from cosmonaut Andrey Borisenko brings us the closest experience to actually being aboard the ISS and seeing the Earth, in all its beauty, for ourselves.

When you've been around as long as Metallica has (their first album came out in 1983!), you don't have to prove yourself to anyone! So, if they want to play one of their greatest hits, "Enter Sandman," on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon? On classroom instruments? They're damn well gonna do it!

Last week, some corners of the Internet were all wound up about NASA's public, live video feed from the International Space Station and whether or not it cut out just as a UFO was seen entering Earth's atmosphere. Now, a NASA spokesperson has dignified that question with an answer that probably won't change anyone's mind anyway.

Holy moly, Canada has Star Trek-themed currency including a delta-shaped gold coin, coins with the USS Enterprise, and coins with Spock, Uhura, and more.

After a troubled initial attempt at expansion, the NASA and Bigelow Aerospace's BEAM expandable space habitat reached its full size last week. However, it still needs to be tested to ensure that it's an appropriately protective home for humans in the harsh environments in outer space, and astronauts have finally made their way inside to do just that.

This week, the European Space Agency released an extensive narrated tour of the International Space Station. It's available in both 3D and 2D versions.

Last week, NASA was having a bit of trouble blowing up (inflating, not destroying) their BEAM inflatable space habitat much like a winded partier trying to blow up a raft over the holiday weekend. Now, they've gotten it to work, which means it's time to set about testing the habitat to make sure it's actually worth blowing up in the first place. Gotta save your energy in that summer heat, after all.

NASA's BEAM module that was set to expand the International Space Station yesterday—quite literally, as BEAM is an inflatable habitat that was supposed to blow up to usable size—failed to function, and they're still trying to figure out why. However, I'm now being told by sources that this inflatable addition to the ISS is not actually a bouncy castle, so I guess they're not missing much, at least.

The Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM), constructed by Bigelow Aerospace will be transferred to the the International Space Station during SpaceX's resupply mission next month for attachment.

Astronaut Scott Kelly, who returned a few days ago from spending just under a year on the International Space Station has had substantial changes occur within his body over the prolonged period of time he's spent up there.

American astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko are due to return to Earth tonight after spending 340 days on the International Space Station, and NASA is currently live-streaming coverage of his return, starting with a farewell and a hatch closure that's going on now, with de-orbit and landing coverage scheduled to begin at 10:15 PM. You can watch the coverage above!

Concept artist Joshua James Shaw shared some early concept art for Deadpool's Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and it's fascinating to see the different iterations she went through.
