I guarantee you that what they have found is the giant black hole at the center of our Galaxy. Its been theorised for about 50 years that most or all galaxies have a black hole at their center. We think we have found them in a lot of other galaxies. Black holes emit a lot of X-Rays, well the matter that falls into them emit the x-rays. Hence the Chandra X-Ray observatory being involved in the discovery.

Why are we only finding our own galaxies black hole after 50 years when we found the black holes at the center of other galaxies much earlier?. Well there are a few billion stars and nebula's between us on the outer rim of our galaxy and its center. All blocking the view and masking the emmisions of the black hole.

They have obviously been able to filter out all that.

Way to spoil it for everyone :pac:

Actually, just noticed Wibbs posted the answer on page 1. Missed it. Kudos to Wibbs and would the rest of you kindly direct your party pooper ire at him instead please.

The answer is of course,

They found this report written on the back of an asteroid behind Uranus.

It gives Patrick Moore a chance to wake up!

life_is_music · 11-05-2008 11:28PM

somehow I don't think it's going to live up to yer expectations........

11-05-2008 11:34PM

I have high expectations of Patrick Moore getting up but low expectations of him getting it up.

Reminds me of the Simpsons episode about NASA being concerned about TV ratings. They're probably worried about their budget getting cut so they're trying to build up some piece of lame nerd news and get it as much media coverage as possible.

It's my dignity.

javaboy · 11-05-2008 11:48PM

My money's on a new planet/aliens which will turn out to be a smudge on the telescope's lens.

BeerWolf · 12-05-2008 06:56AM

Most definitely.

Unless it's about aliens or the end of the world, nothing else is even mildly interesting.... they discovered a big black hole... woopty doo... who gives a crap.

BeerWolf · 12-05-2008 09:18AM

Something they been looking for for the past 50 years...

Aliens responded to our radio transmissions? :eek:
