There are lots of great things in space. Really bright stars, tremendously awesome comets, that totally badass Crab Nebula. But one thing goes underappreciated when we look to the stars: Space babes!

That’s right, all those sexy lady-creatures just a few light years beyond our stratosphere. How do we know they’re out there, you may ask? Well we trust in James Cameron, whose gigantic blockbuster "Avatar" introduced blue-skinned vixen Neytiri, a primo example of nubile ladies from the outer galaxies.

In honor of Cameron's epic, we present 10 space babes hotter than the suns of Alpha Centauri.
