Images of deep space taken by even the most sophisticated orbital telescopes have long been plagued by artifacts that obstruct scientists’ view of the universe. Most of these artifacts are Space Cats.

Thankfully, recent breakthroughs in imaging software have enabled NASA to remove these cats from the most breathtaking photographs of the cosmos. Brant Widgeon, an astronomical image enhancement engineer at NASA, explains the work is a labor of love.

2 in 5 Bunnies Consider Downsizing Their Family Home

In the heady days of the housing boom during the middle part of last decade, it was not uncommon for a middle class rabbit family to own a four or five bedroom home in the suburbs.  But according to a new survey from Coldwell Banker Residential Research, many bunnies are now downsizing to smaller homes with more manageable mortgages.  Further, a growing number of young bunnies are moving back into the city.

STUDY: More Cats Are Forgoing College to Start Internet Businesses

It’s a boom time for cats on the Internet.  According to a new study from the Pew Center for Feline Life, a shocking 23% more cats in 2012 will opt to start Internet businesses instead of going to college than in 2011.  Experts attribute the jump to the popularity of cat-based Internet memes like LOLCats and the success of Internet celebrities like Maru and Sockington. 

“The said truth,” warned Raymund Acevedo, director of research at Pew, “is that most of these new cat businesses will fail in their first year.  We should be encouraging our cats to stay in school and get a proper education.”

Bulldog Collapses After Tryout With the Celtics

Squiggy, a bulldog from Naperville, IL, had the chance of a lifetime to make the Chicago Bulls squad mid-season as a walk-on.  After a grueling 8 hour tryout with team scouts and coaches on Sunday, Squiggy collapsed and had to be rushed to the vet.  

The dog is resting comfortably now and was apparently just dehydrated. However, Squiggy’s hopes of following the footsteps of his idol, Air Bud, may have been dashed, as team doctors remain unconvinced of the pup’s readiness for game action.
