I need these boots for my Ziggy Stardust cosplay. Do they come in a men's size 11?

We're allowed to insult where we live (it's almost mandatory), but woe betide anyone else who does :|

Look who's all grown up!

Oh yeah, I must've misread.

I was thinking 'wasn't there just an x-files movie?', but the internet tells me it was in 2006, and the first movie was in '98.

Ceres used to be considered a planet too, should we reinstate that as well?

Nerd ;)

Whoops, that should've read not, not now.

How do you now have posting privileges on io9?

Anyone know if this will be viewable outside the US?

I went out with binoculars tonight (first non-cloudy night in a week) but couldn't spot it. I'm just on the edge of a city though, so my skies aren't particularly dark. I'll get the telescope out tomorrow if it's less windy.

Ah, I thought it was the middle bit that looked like an eagle, but I can definitely see it in the bigger blue section, too.

This image looks a little more eagle-like. Remember that when viewed through a small telescope on earth they all look like fuzzy blobs; even the slightest resemblance will lead to a name. Have you seen the Crab Nebula? Hasn't even got pincers!

Congratulations on the promotion, James.

Yeah, I can see that. 2014 Wipe just aired, though, so that should still be fresh.
