Today's Webtip: Exoplanets

It looks like NASA is getting in to tourism.

NASA really seems to get the net. I can't really think of any other government organization that has managed to create content that manages to grab the publics attention like they have.

It's almost as if singing astronauts and dancing rocket scientists actually enjoy what they are doing...

And now the astronomers are getting in on the action.

The Kepler telescope has been locating exoplanets willy nilly, and now JPL has apparently decided to celebrate by making some absolutely lovely retro-style travel posters featuring a few of those planets.
