NASA's Fermi Telescope Finds Giant Structure in our Galaxy, page 5
im shure this would be way cooler to me thow if i were smarter and could understand the full ramifacations of new discoveries such

Under certain conditions it is visible to the human eye.

Too bad it's invisible to the naked eye.

I would if I was still able to do so.
If a Moderator would like to change it so people won't think it's a solid structure that's fine.
As I mentioned, I used the headline that Nasa used for their article.
Nasa.gov
I'd like to add this video as well from Nasa.

it looks like its over 1000 light years away and according to Einsteins law nothing can move faster than the speed of light.
im not saying that its impossible for it to reach us at 2012 but according to our own limited knowledge it is impossible

I have read a number of books by Dr. Paul A. LaViolette, and thought this sounded interesting in light of some things he has written about galactic
superwaves that originate from the galactic core. Here is a link to a youtube audio interview with him. It's pretty far out from the viewpoint of
the current paradigm of physics and cosmology, but I think there may be something here. There are 3 segments to the video, so make sure you see all
three.

How it was made is known....GOD made it.
I wonder what else is out there. How they got there, or how they were made is still unknown, for now atleast.

I don't know about you, but gamma ray bursts give me the heebie jeebies. They can also occur within our galaxy when a super massive star starts to collapse and form a black hole. When it does this, it can generate a gamma ray burst along the axis of rotation.
These are very high energy events, and if Earth was hit by one it would be very bad news. Our ozone layer would be ripped off and our sun's UV light would make life on the surface very difficult.
It is ironic that Fermi is the name of the telescope to find this. There is something called Fermi's Paradox, which basically states "Where is Everybody", referring to alien extraterrestrial intelligence. Quote: "The apparent size and age of the universe suggest that many technologically advanced extraterrestrial civilizations ought to exist.
However, this hypothesis seems inconsistent with the lack of observational evidence to support it."
Some physicist claim that galaxies actually "sterilize" higher life forms in this fashion and may have led to previous mass extinctions on Earth link: www.nasa.gov...
Even with our current technology we could build generation star ships and populate many earth like planets within a few hundred thousand years. So given the age of our universe, where is the heck is everybody?
However, these gamma ray bursters from stars have to be relatively close to us, say 20LY, but the effects would be dramatic. I would guess only bacteria living underground would survive and eventually evolve again and spread to the surface.
This current discovery from NASA poses no threat to earth, the jets are more or less perpendicular to the plane of our galaxy. Whats more dangerous are those big stars nearer to us about to go supernova, if we get caught in any gamma ray bursts they generate, it will be a bad day.
I suppose humans could survive this by building underground shelters and storing stockpiles of food and seed. But I can't help wonder if galaxies are constantly sterilizing planets by these high energy and deadly bursts. Maybe that explains why SETI hasn't found anything yet, and why ETs aren't applying for green cards.
It also tells us how special we are in this vast universe. Maybe with better understanding of these phenomena, we could take steps to ensure the continued survival of our species and the human spirit.

Gonna have to argue that point... When something is known, it's a proven fact (unless you're delusional). I don't wanna rain on your parade, but if you believe that, it's totally cool, but it's NOT known. I'm sure that science will eventually have an explanation for it though.

I did not see anyone mention this yet. But here is news from NASA, is it related?
Did anyone else see this yet:
www.nasa.gov...
Not much info to go on. We will have to wait to see.

Just the sheer size of the universe is reason enough we dont see or know of other civilizations if they exist. Your mind cant wrap around at how huge the universe is and even at light speed its thousands of times to slow to transverse the universe in a timely manner. Thier could be billions of advanced civilizations but few with ftl or wormhole type technology. No wonder we dont see other civilizations.
