Nov 14 2008First Peek At Another Planetary System!

That's right folks, this is the first photo (I have no idea what this was then), taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, of a planet orbiting another star. "[The picture] shows a planet orbiting the bright southern star Fomalhaut, located 25 light-years away in the constellation Piscis Australis." Hit the jump for another pictures of a planetary system 130 light-years away. That Hubble must have some camera! And, wait a minute -- THAT'S NOT A PLANET, THAT'S THE EYE OF SAURON! We're all dead! But, before I go, where'd that sexy little Gollum run off to?
Hit it for a couple more photos.

7. Hunter - November 14, 2008 2:33 PM
Pardon me, Mordor is what I meant to say.

Off topic. I was just looking at the "So Freaking Cool" list on the right, and I realized I'm going to be bummed out when the next thing bumps Olivia Munn off the list.

We're f***ed.

That's were the mother ship is from. We evolved from beings that originated from that planet. Seeing those pictures make me homesick.
P.S. I am really gay. I try to make Katie Holmes dress like a man.
11. Quonky - November 14, 2008 2:41 PM
Definitely looks like a vagina to me. o.o

19. Mike - November 14, 2008 3:11 PM
FAKE! This is a photoshop pic, I can tell because of the lack of shadows. It looks like a still from that movie Lord of the Rings in the part where Froto masturbates under the bed.
20. The Heat - November 14, 2008 3:33 PM
The Bad Astronomy blog explains the differences between the pictures. That previous picture was of a planet orbiting a brown dwarf. This photo you have now, GW, is of a normal planet orbiting a normal star. Also, there's yet another photo which is of a star *system*, which, I guess, just means that there is more than one planet in the shot.
21. Daisy - November 14, 2008 3:52 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell its fake because the shadows are all wrong.
This looks like the scene where Max was doing his astronomy homework in the movie Never Back Down.

Well done! I was waiting on that Eye of Sauron remark. My thoughts exactly.
Best,

23. Hunter - November 14, 2008 5:19 PM
@Thumperchica, I know, I'm already going to bed without dinner as it is, so I'm just going to sit in the corner and cry myself to normalcy.
24. pasider - November 14, 2008 6:16 PM
for a second there i thought we'd found the eye or mordor.
25. Chaz - November 14, 2008 6:45 PM
Everyone on that planet now is now thinking "Man, I have the funny feeling that I'm being stared at..."
All at the same time!
26. godiva - November 14, 2008 7:27 PM
Daddy? How come it looks prettier than MY planetary system?

29. Thumperchica - November 15, 2008 8:31 AM
OK, it must be said. The GAYEST movie scene of all time, was in LOTR. When Frodo and Sam say goodbye, it went on, and on, and on, and you KNEW they were taking turns being top/bottom the whole damned way through middle earth, and Frodo looked scared because Gandolf was finally going to have him alone on a boat...
30. ROFL - November 15, 2008 12:30 PM
@29 Seriously! and the way they were looking at each other was annoying as hell.

Last time I was with the hosebag, and she was having her period, the stains on the sheets looked a lot like these pictures.
34. Loony Lovegood - November 16, 2008 10:04 AM
FTW!
If Daisy f***ed a flame thrower on outer space... this is how it would look like.
If Daisy had a period while having a yeast infection... this is how it would look like.
If Daisy rubbed her pussy with napalm chemical... this is how it would look like.
If Daisy f***ed every chimp in the world... this is how it would look like.
If Daisy rubbed her pussy on every urinal in the whole world, this is how it would look like.
If Daisy was born with AIDS and f***ed a chimp, this is how it would look like.
If Daisy f***ed every man in the world... this is how it would look like.
If Daisy's pussy had a personality... this is how it would look like.
If Daisy f***ed Satan's brother or even Satan himself, this is how it would look like.
If Daisy f***ed every Martian in "Mars Attack," this is how it would look like.
If Daisy appeared on the Simpson and flash her cunt, this is how it would look like.
If Daisy was a one-eyed whore in "Schindler's List," this is how it would look like.
If Satan's dick had every venereal disease known to man and f***ed Daisy, this is how it would look like.

48. Prosolution Pills - May 21, 2009 1:18 AM
That’s my opinion, but I’ve seen a lot of pills in the male enhancement industry come and go. This is one that consistently stands up to the best, and gets good feedback from the men that try it, so I’d say it’s a safe bet this product will be a real crowd pleaser. And for whatever you’re looking for, whether it is size enhancement or not, lots of men report a seriously enhanced sexual experience with the low side effect read more here http://newprosolutionpills.iblog.co.za/
