Space Video of the Day - 071128

It isn't often that I find old movies that have become part of the public domain, particularly a movie that is space-themed. So, I was quite happy to find a classic of the genre - if, by "the genre", one means "really really really bad science fiction". It has everything: a Big Star (Bela Lugosi)! Zombies! Aliens! Zombie Aliens! So, without further ado, allow me to present today's space video of the day: Plan 9 From Outer Space!


This is the Space Video of the Week. Be sure to check out the Space Video of the Day Archive.

Sorry about the lack of posting over the previous week; I've been busier than a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest. Regular posting of space videos resumes today with a look at the New Horizons spacecraft's closest approach to Jupiter, which took place in late February of this year.

Today's space video of the day is again from the History Channel's series, The Universe, with this episode entitled the Life and Death of a Star. As an aside, I want to point out that Keith Cowing at NASAwatch has also started posting space videos fairly regularly; be sure to check his videos out.

An "earthrise" is only visible from objects which orbit the moon. Japan's KAYUGA spacecraft is doing that right now, and prouced this (high definition) video of an earthrise and a setting earth. There's no sound in this space video of the day; in space, no one can hear you giggle.
