Nasa News
According to the radio- NASA has just annouced to the world that they are just about to release "interesting news" in the next few minutes. BBC journalists are standing by.

But what will the news be? NASA scientists seem to have a widely different view of what is interesting.

Have aliens been observed mooning the Hubble telescope?
Or have the engineers developed a new kind of non return valve?
(, Mon 15 Nov 2010, 17:35, 155 replies, latest was 15 years ago)
I hope it's the valve, I hope it's the valve.
If it's self actuating I'll go dizzy with excitement.

I reckon....
its depends on the smells that they used.

I can believe that a hieghtened sense of smell may have evolved when we where hunting mammoth and digging for grubs. So if the test smells were "mammoth scent" and "grub smell" - fair enuf. However, if they were , and as I suspect, "McDonalds Death Burger" and "Fried Chicken Coronary" then no, I would be a little suspicious of these findings.

I suppose on a scale of 1 - 10 its a 2 or 3.

But I am glad that its not just another new bit of flotsam floating around.

This is, in principle, fascinating. And if we've only just discovered it, then it can only be 19 light-years away from us. We could learn a lot from this.

Edit: And whilst we're on the subject of sexy alien females, has it not occurred to anybody that trying to shag one of them would be tantamount to bestiality?

I could be mistaken
But I believe most of the black holes we know about are hundreds or thousands of light-years away, and therefore hundreds or thousands of years old by the time we see them. A black hole this young might still have enough crap drifting round it to tell us more about the way it formed and/or their behaviour in the earlier stages of their existence.
