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.
Live audio of the teleconference will be streamed online at: http://www.nasa.gov/newsaudio
OK, its probably not Planet X but with the way the world’s luck has been running it could be exciting………….or not.
NBC says it is a supernova found in its early stage.
Yep, remnants of the last known supernova to happen in the Milky Way

where is the audio or video feed ? i went to the link but no info at all
#3. Its suppose to air 1:00 Eastern
This one is just prime for write your own punch line…
NASA will announce that they found no intelegence in any level of US Government.
NASA will announce that they found Amelia Earhart!
Come on folks, you can top these two.
#5 McCullough – today is Wednesday. Check your calendar.
#7. DOH! I missed it……

They should have tried looking behind the cushions on the sofa first. Lots of stuff can be found there.
Perhaps they can find the original moon landing video tapes that they lost.

I doubt that they’ve found intelligent life out there since they’d be waaay too clever to let us banana-fixated chimps ever find them…and to start annoying.
“There will be an additional season of Battlestar Galactica!”
“The last cyclon is David Hasslehoff. That is all.”
Perhaps its Iraq’s WMDs?
140 year old supernova remnant in the Milky Way. Minus the light speed photon travel time of 26,000 years. Would have been brand new in about 1680. It’s still expanding at about 0.05 C.
There’s a much bigger one out there that is far closer, but we won’t see it for a while because the light hasn’t reached here, yet.
I like things that are far closer.
Dear Peter (#17)–
Nice thoughts of time through space and standing in temporarily for BubbaRay.
Dear Peter (#17)–
Nice thoughts of time through space and standing in temporarily for BubbaRay’s wisdom.
Hope you haven’t infringed on a patents already obtained for iNova.
As Tihz Ho would say, cheers!
NASA is still a waste of money.
I got the date wrong, though… The boom was seen about 1868-ish.
The next one will be called My Nova.
The latest Chandra podcasts are here.
More information about the latest discovery is here.
Thanks, KD! And thanks to #18 Boru for the stand-in!
#17, Peter iNova, distance to G1.9+0.3 has not yet been accurately determined, according to the info I’ve received.
“Based on its small size, it was thought to have resulted from a supernova that exploded about 400 to 1000 years ago.” If it’s 26,000 ly. distant, then the age data doesn’t make sense. It would have exploded at least 26,000 years ago.

I see that’s it’s business as usual around here.

Hey iNova, careful what you wish for. A Supernova at less than a 1000 lightyears would definitely qualify as an extinction level event. Lucky ones on one side of the planet burnt to a crisp, for the other side slow death. Fortunately it’s highly improbable, sure hope our luck holds out. This is great science though, nothing like observable phenomenon to give credibility to a mathematical model.
God is on his way. Look busy.
