NASA's Kepler Twitter hacked, tweets photo of woman's butt

Kepler normally makes news for its planetary findings, like this batch of nine planets discovered in a habitable zone of stars where conditions could be right for liquid water, and potentially life.

Twitter has a long history of hacks, often targeted at celebrity accounts. A hacker compromised Jack Black's Tenacious D Twitter account earlier this year with a fake death notice sent out to his fans. Other big names, including Katy Perry and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, have also been victimized on the social-media site.

NASA's Kepler account seems like an unusual choice for a Twitter hack. "We're investigating the cause of this incident with Twitter," NASA social-media manager John Yembrick said in an email. "We have hundreds of official NASA Twitter accounts, and this is a very rare occurrence. We work to safeguard our accounts as much as possible. Although we monitor all of our accounts closely, we want to thank our followers for flagging the incident for us."

Thank goodness it wasn’t a photo of Hillary’s. Most would have assumed the apocalypse was upon us.

Verra nice, to quote Jamie Fraser.

Io used to be the ugliest moon known. Here is an example.

It has been replaced by Hillary's necrotic moon Ono. I would show an example but everyone is sick of seeing her dead Ono.
