NASA to Announce Success of Long Galactic Hunt

WASHINGTON -- NASA has scheduled a media teleconference Wednesday, May 14, at 1 p.m. EDT, to announce the discovery of an object in our Galaxy astronomers have been hunting for more than 50 years. This finding was made by combining data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory with ground-based observations.

I bet it's a Black hole they've discovered.

 

[John Picard]

V'Ger.

 

[splodenode]

maybe they found jimmy hoffa

 

[clint g]

I was hoping the conference would be about a manned mission to mars. Guess my imagination got the best of me

 

[chancellorjake]

Oh No. It's Nemesis. Everybody Panic!

 

[Meredith]

The UFOs have landed and we'll tell you where they are, Midnight Star I wanna know, I wanna know.

 

[Jadzia]

I wonder if its cube shaped?

 

[137th Gebirg]

Well lessee. It could be:

• First contact of intelligent life via radio signal
• Discovery of a BIG black hole
• Discovery of an earth-like planet
• Discovery of life or remnants of intelligent life on the moon or Mars
• Discovery of another planet in our own solar system (Nibiru/Nemesis/Planet X)
• Discovery of another earth-like planet in a nearby solar system
• Discovery of the actual boundary at the end of the universe

Any one of these things could be quite big, and most would likely not be published if discovered, based on NASA adherence to the Brookings Report, so it's probably not as big as they say it is.

The UFOs have landed and we'll tell you where they are, Midnight Star I wanna know, I wanna know.

That is the first reference I have ever seen to that Weird Al classic! Good form!

I bet it's a Black hole they've discovered.

Likely, if you look at the Chandra's track record.

 

[judge alba]

probably found a goa'uld mother ship

 

[Jedi Marso]

What's NASA been looking for since 1958?

 

[Brent]

What's NASA been looking for since 1958?

Aliens

 

[Lindley]

Why bother, they found those in 1947, didn't they?

 

[Jedi Marso]

Well, based on the information given, I'd say one of the following:

A Black Hole
Something to do with Dark Matter/ Energy
Possibly something to do with gravitational waves/lensing, although probably not.

 

[farmkid]

What's NASA been looking for since 1958?

An unlimited budget.

 

[AdmiralGarak]

What's NASA been looking for since 1958?

An unlimited budget.

I'd believe the Goa'uld mothership theory before this one.

 

[All Seeing Eye]

The discovery of another dwarf planet.

 

[Brent]

It could be an asteroid that is to collide with Earth.
