NASA - NASA to Announce Success of Long Galactic Hunt
Sounds rather important.
I was honestly expecting to get rick-rolled.
I can't exactly comment, because for all I know they call press conferences like this all the time. Proof of alien life? I don't think that's only been looked for for 50 years.
It's got to be the Klingon race.
I bet it'll end up being something only astronomy buffs get excited about.
It's a big space rock make of some useless element. I'll call it now.
Its prob another planet like earth some 100.000 lightyears away from us.. like we'd ever get there.
Shergar
The only thing that I can think we ever REALLY look for and care about is like... maybe some bacteria on some random planet we'll never get too.
I'm going for, either something to prove life on something other than earth, OR something that really won't effect us in anyway, like.. finding some kind of neato rock, or some random planet that we'll never get too.. (Finding life on another planet would throw a good number of people for a loop)
I told you the moon was made of cheese.
Dark matter seems a likely possibility here.
If it where life on another planet, I'm sure they'd already of told us, since it's a very big matter.Quote:

Its not a rock, but it seems like the only useful thing.. at least to me..Quote:

I think this might just be it.Quote:

The last time this happened they just missed it, an event that occurred in the 50's or 60's, which would be consistent with the 50 year gap thing.
That is a pretty awesome image.Quote:

Not really. I actually have no clue.
It's probably going to be something mundane (relatively speaking), but I'd be cool if it were the Voyager 1 probe. It was launched in 1955, so I guess scientists could have been looking for it for over 50 years. :p
The words "discovery of an object in our Galaxy" don't really lend themselves to my hypothesis though. :p
it's bruce willis
in space.Quote:

A supernova or black matter seems plausible. :O
I hope it's Earth-2149.
Hmm... I'm going to guess it could a black hole. We *know* they exist, but we've never been able to observe one. Obviously you can't directly observe something that's inherently invisible, but the accretion disk and plasma and such might finally have been recorded.
Nice try buddy, but you arent really getting the idea of Infinite space.. or rather, Space distances. Youd have to be able to set a pretty accurate angle to see things a few lightyears away.. and when i say pretty accurate.. i mean.. well, you get it.Quote:

I agree with Big D.. Its probably a Black hole.
I hope it makes me crap in my pants.
They discovered the ruins of the Silver Millennium on the Moon!?
Damn straight and don't you forget it! :mad2:Quote:

I'm gonna go with alien derelict.
Clearly it's Space Nazi's.
I always knew it :)Quote:

Could be anything. Probably nothing that interesting to the general population though.
Jews in Space?
YouTube - Jews In Space
I can only imagine. :rolleyes2
Parallel world, where everything is the same as it is on Earth, yet different.
Or, in reality, something really boring!
Jews and Nazis both in space? It seems we have a Space Wars on our hands!Quote:

or maybe a death star.....
So, what was it?
a very young super nova in the milky way
What does that mean for us? Well, those of us on Earth.
I suppose they hope to get some data out of it. It's probably important in Cosmology to get their assumptions tested on a real supernova.Quote:

They already theorized that there might be one(studies from gravitational effects, no real data.. all bull, but lets humour them for a second) and only a few hundred thousand lightyears away!Quote:

Supernova... I do not think it means what you think it means.Quote:

I don't htink he was talking about that, d-man.
