In what sounds like a SyFy Channel movie, the internet says a skull shaped asteroid will pass by Earth on Halloween night. The problem is, it already did three years ago in 2015.

As a tribute, Internation Space Station Commander Chris Hadfield covers David Bowie's Space Oddity, while floating in space. Just thinking about it gives me goose bumps.

I mean, we humans are the best there is right? We have invented the internet, 3-D printers and turduckens. We win. Not so fast...

This is a first for man-kind. We have landed a probe onto a comet! A feat that wasn't easily done.

As a way to promote its show ‘Chasing UFOs’ and potentially impress aliens with our highly-advanced Twitter technology, the National Geographic Channel will broadcast tweets into the deepest recesses of space this coming August.

If you ever felt 'small', then watching this video will not help you much. I am a geek for astronomy for I find the mystery of the most hostile environment....extraordinary. Yes, I am talking about the vastness of space and the universe as we now know it. This video just shows you how 'small' we really are in the cosmos. Video after the jump.
