Hubble finds unidentified object in space, scientists puzzled

Its ACORNs voter registration forms exploding into a ball of flames

"one scientist at the LHC declared that the object is similar to the flash that an Imperial Star Destroyer does when reaching Warp 10"

not to nerd it up or anything, A Star Destroyer travels in hyperspace, while the warp system of space travel is a Star Trek model of FTL travel. very different models. -10 geek points

Interesting and now Hubble goes down and has to be fix.. This is sure to make some wonder if there is more going on.

Xenu? Anybody?

This is pretty cool. I'm curious to see what scientists come up with as an answer for this anomaly...if any.

It's the TARDIS, I just know it...

frack...

Finally.

Looks like Battlestar Galactica and the Fleet spooled up their FTL's and jumped.

The paper is to appear in the Astrophysical Journal, by astronomers working on the Supernova Cosmology Project.

Here is the group's paper with all the details. The lead author is Kyle Barbary (University of California at Berkeley).

All you cosmologists out there have fun and give me some frakin answers!

Viral marketing for the new Star Wars movie :-P

Please keep us updated on this one. I wonder what they found :)

Here we go! Another sign there is going to be an intervention of Universal magnitude. Keep your i's pealed.

that's where the WMDs are!

I think it's amazing how only now Hubble spots an unidentified object in space,DOH, What do's that tell you about the thousands of reports of unidentified objects or so called spaceships spotted in the past, surely Hubble must have noticed something before now if the phenomena is true. Did anyone tell the Hubble crew that china was flying around up there at the mo & to get the kettle on for tea

Interesting, it's like not being able to tell if a dot one inch in front of my face is an inch away, or halfway to the moon...

What ever it was, it would have been a better running mate for McCain.

How come I can't find anything about it on the Hubble site nor Nasa.gov?

What the hell was it doing for three months?

The truth is out there! : D

this is the spaceship coming on OCT 14!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's Former Senator from Alaska Mike Gravel!!!

sweet jesuss how cool

dude

awesome

did some one take galaga into RL?

well.... lets find out! its time to broaden our galactical view, make peace. not war. living beings are welcome to planet earth, only to those who believe in peace. come on now.

Looks like a Borg ship

i wonder if that is the same object i saw at Palomar observatory back on august 16

must be the vogon destructor fleets at work again... buy your beer and peanuts while you can people!

COOL!

We got death star...death star
We got death star...death star
We got death star...death star
And you know that we got it...Death Star.

Damn
They see me

What do I think it is? It's nothing. Just the ghost light of some big explosion during the Shadow-Minbari war.

Just another reason to colonize space.
Then destroy it once we know everything so nothing new can ever happen.

It's probably a crumb from a nasa canteen donut stuck to the lens,

I think it's Palins foreign policy experience...

"In addition to being inconsistent with all known supernova types, is not matched to any spectrum in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey database."

This reminded me of Lovecraft's "The Colour out of Space."

It truly is an infinite universe.

I'm not gonna' say "ET phone home" or "beam me up Scotty" no matter how funny I think it is."

Incredible

keep us updated?

wow cool
