The View From The Blue Dot: The Best Space Pictures of 2012
2012 is over, and it was a pretty great year for all sorts of entertainment, as we pointed out earlier today. Sometimes, though, we’re in a more ruminative mood, and in those moments, we like nothing more than looking at pictures of space, wishing and hoping that one day, we’ll even get to visit. Until then, though, photos will have to do — luckily, it turns out that 2012 was one heck of a year for those, too. We welcome you to 2013 with a retrospective of the best images of some of our new favorite places in the universe that last year had to offer, courtesy of the Hubble Space Telescope, Cassini probe, International Space Station, and more. Have a very happy new year, everyone, and be sure to check back with us for the best images from space from 2013 — we couldn’t be more excited to bring them to you as they happen.
