Put Your Togas Away, Space Fashion Is Here Thanks To Valentino

Well it’s about time! I mean – Valentino certainly knows what’s hip these days, because we’ve all been waiting for something we can wear into space – I mean AMIRIGHT? But truth be told, some of these little ditties are quite spectacular. Just wait till you see the space boots – I’m not joking!

That’s No Moon. That’s A–Oh, Wait, That’s Totally A Moon!

That bright dot? Totally a moon and not, I repeat NOT, a secret superpowered human being safely towing the asteroid out of our orbital path. Nope. Not the latter at all, I have been told to say.

 

You probably didn’t realize just how close you came to dying in a fiery explosion with the rest of the planet yesterday.  Asteroid 2004 BL86 came within 1.2 million kilometers of Earth (fine, 745,645 miles, but 1.2 million kilometers sounds so much asteroider) and that’s only about 3 times the distance from the Earth to our moon as reported by IFLScience.  The asteroid is the size of a mountain or big enough for Bruce Willis to land on and start drilling.  And turns out it has its own little moon.

Wait, this asteroid gets its own moon?  I’ve been way better than the asteroid all year long but do I have a moon?  NOOOO!  I want my own moon now, Santa!

Because You Can’t Spell Science With QVC

Actually, there’s a lot of things you can’t spell with QVC.  But when fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi debates QVC host Jane Treacy over whether the moon is a planet or start, nobody wins and science loses.

Dear QVC Hosts and Isaac Mizrahi — SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT YOUR QVC WARES!!  And you can even half shut the hell up about the stuff you’re selling too.
