Exciting... I'm going with a black hole. What else could it be?

Bush ran NASA...NOAH'S ARC!!!11!!!11!

Most likely something minor.

It'll be something boring only people with an interest in astronomy will have ever heard of.

Who here is hoping for Genova?

Death Star.

It's Zod.

Eh, it's very likely some background radiation or something of that nature. I'd highly doubt it's anything even as interesting as a planet.

EnigmaticParadigm · 05-10-2008, 06:02 AM

V'ger has come home to roost. All you carbon-based lifeforms are fucked now.

Cybsled · 05-10-2008, 08:47 AM

2 black holes colliding, maybe?

Gigfc · 05-10-2008, 08:53 AM

They turned it around for Vanguard!

Gonna have to agree.

if it was anything of importance it would have been released immediately and not wait for tuesday and have to practically beg people to watch.

it would be cool if it was something like spotting non natural structures not made by man on another planet or confirming that one of jupiter's moons (Titan?) is indeed capable of supporting life.
