NASA to announce great discovery May 14th

[Vermachtnis]

My friend informs me that the most likely observation is that of a star that has recently gone supernova. There's a composite image from the telescope that seems to support that thesis. 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.

If you look at the bright star on the upper right side, you can see the individual pixels xD

Also possible: Elerium 115.

xD, that'd better be a joke

Lulz. :3

I'm thinking it's going to be something really awesome, like, Black Holes take you to an alternate universe where Dinosaurs roam the Earth, or something.

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.

The words "<i>discovery of an object in our Galaxy</i>" don't really lend themselves to my hypothesis though.

it's bruce willis

it's bruce willis

in space.

I don't think it's life they've discovered if they were using an X-Ray telescope.

A supernova or black matter seems plausible. :O

[Roto13]

I hope it's Earth-2149.

[Big D]

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.

I seriously doubt that any aliens would make something the size of a sun and just as bright.

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!?
