NASA about to announce something Big?

Only 40 min to go. NASA TV now at the moment is just talking about going to Mars and stuff.

I wish they'd hurry up, It's 2:20am Thursday morning here now and i'm damn tired.

It better be good.

As to the person who poested above about the word "object" used, that's what has me interested. The fact that they said "object".

Yeah, I've been searching and trying to figure this thing out (and chasing my cat around the house every so often to releive tension) and will probably scream out in discused when they say..we found apurple star that blinks a thousand times a nano second and its heavy with some x-rays!! Oh boy oh boy duuuh!

Ok if it is a earth like planet, What questions do you have for NASA?

If it is a black hole? Questions?

Or what is the questions you would have for anything else you may think it is? I will start putting them on the list for Jack to ask NASA during this thing.

ITEM 1 - DISCOVERY OF MOST RECENT SUPERNOVA IN OUR GALAXY - CXC (NEW) The most recent supernova in our Galaxy, known as G1.9+0.3, has been discovered by tracking the rapid expansion of its remains. This result, using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and NRAO's Very Large Array (VLA), has implications for understanding how often supernovas explode in the Milky Way galaxy.

I'm watching NASA TV now aswell but i noticed there's 3 channel to the right to select from

Public Channel
Media Channel
Education Channel

I take that the conference will be presented on the Media Channel? or should i stay watching the guy right now that's talking about the moon?

EDIT: oh forget it, that was lame. each one i click goes back to this guy LOL!

priolly something lame like, "we've discovered a new galaxy we hadn't seen before blah blah blah..."

They all seem to be showing the same thing (guy talking about the moon).

the top 2 are the same i just found out

My guess:

Globular clusters are the oldest known objects in our galaxy. “ confirmed by Chandra X-ray telescope”
Woo Hoo

I want to slap someone!

That is the most uninteresting thing I can think off, I can’t believe I’m staying up for that.

I might as well wait now and keep my fingers crosses that they found the Supernova AND the new object, lol. I can only hope, but I doubt it.

Since they say it is something they have been looking for for 50 years, I would have to refer to their mission statement. So.....could be anything!!! I look forward to the announcement!

It would be nice to have a counter on the Nasa tv site to see how many people are watching this live

they posted a link to the audio stream. of course its a Real Audio stream (yuk)

NASA News Audio Live Streaming

COMING UP:

Watching this NASA TV makes me feel like i'm back at the Walt Disney World Epcot Centre, lol.

So you think they maybe discovered a new galaxy in our galaxy? One they have been searching out for 50 years?

So many posts on this thread *speculating* so many different wacky things when the actual press release says, and I quote,

"announce the discovery of an object in our Galaxy astronomers have been hunting for more than 50 years. "

I hate playing forum police, but sheesh! C'mon people! Would it KILL you to click ONE LINK and perhaps at least READ a few lines??
