Wow, what a crazy week, ehh? Sometimes, an escape from 'reality' is so damn beneficial. You know what I mean? With today being Friday I think it's imperative that WE ALL take a  second to decompress and basically, forget about the craziness that seems to be all around us.

Wild sex with an alien sounds appealing but you lose me at Cat People. Who wants to hang out with an Andrew Lloyd Webber production?

After witnessing some of the damage that a dinner table-sized meteor did last week after crashing into central Russia, imagine the magnitude of destruction that would have occurred if that flaming rock was the length of 18 football fields. Now stop imagining, because scientists say it happened.

NASA has set up a live web stream using several telescopes from all over the world to observe asteroid 2012 DA14 - which is not going to hit Earth. This is the closest to Earth that an object of this size will pass since we've been observing space in modern times. The asteroid will not be visible over North America but you can watch it right here.

The aliens are attacking Russia and evidently they are throwing giant space rocks at them. That has got to be the only explanation for this, right?

Tardigrades or "Water Bears" are the first creature discovered to survive in space. Which means: they will eat all humans!

It was a big weekend for the folks over at NASA. After nearly a year in space, the shuttle carrying the latest Mars rover landed successfully.

Imagine being a legend and hero even before your death- Sally Ride was the epitome of this. She died Monday morning and will forever go down in history as the first American woman in space.

Last night was the chance to see something that happens once every 130 years or so.  If you missed it, you probably won't get another shot to see it.  Check out this exclusive satellite footage from NASA of the Venus transit.

Most people are trying to get to space so they can float around, explore and maybe have sex with a green chick. Not this dude, he wants to fall from it.

New Yorkers who looked up into the sky on Friday were treated to something simply amazing. The Space Shuttle Enterprise rocketed past such iconic New York City landmarks as the Statue of Liberty and One World Trade Center before coming in for a landing at JFK airport. Luckily, photographers caught the close encounter.

A few days ago the Sun fired off two huge solar flares that are going to reach Earth at some point on Thursday.  It will most likely shake things up a bit, but the world is not ending.
