    The object also appeared out of nowhere. It just wasn't there before. In fact, they don't even know where it is exactly located because it didn't behave like anything they know. Apparently, it can't be closer than 130 light-years but it can be as far as 11 billion light-years away. It's not in any known galaxy either. And they have ruled out a supernova too. It's something that they have never encountered before. In other words: they don't have a single clue about where or what the heck this thing is.

    The shape of the light curve is inconsistent with microlensing. In addition to being inconsistent with all known supernova types, is not matched to any spectrum in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey database.

    Very interesting, any ideas anyone?

    Pfffft, we both know the aliens are all ready here and it's the take over that'll happen in 2012...;)

    Yeah, that's the thing that annoys me the most about all these astronomical occurences, by the time we find out the partys already over.

    Santa is getting ready.

    Brown Thomas is as well.

    The red-shifted light was from Rudolph's nose.
