ya, I've been watching too much Science Channel... A few different shows have said that is the worst case scenario.. if a near earth object comes from behind the sun it is not visible from Earth due to solar glare until it's too late to do something...

whats ya gonna do if X comes?

Trump it with a Y

"NEW" PLANET with water..

It wouldn't be a planet. Gaseous or earthlike. They are using other telescopes to monitor the search in that area.

Planets don't emit Xrays, which is the viewing component of Chandra. Although planets can reflect xrays passing infront of a sun for a corona affect, I would highly doubt they are using it for that.

More like quasars coming out of a black hole, super novas, galaxy collisions, peering into nebula clouds to see star formation. Things that emit light. Being that xray is a spectrum of light...

My guess is a super nova. That's been their main target lately.

That article isn't new.

And that's news? :)

Post of the millennium.

<< authentic basement dwelling GFY scientist spotted >>

all is lost, all is lost, the aliens are coming!

hmmmm, cant wait to hear what this may be

Exactly what I thunk as well.

~ 1 hour left :)

come on NASA, trow some big shit!

:1orglaugh

Halo Reach?

They found intelligent life on GFY. LOL

Hey NASA! Tits or get the fuck out! :thumbsup

The conference starts in less than 30 minutes!

Live-feed here I believe:
http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html

If it were to be dangerous, they wouldn't tell us :)

link isn't working. :(

yeah same here

maybe nasa needs my help to stream this shit

how long till it starts? 10 mins? im in UK not sure on the time difference. . .

yes, 10 minutes :)

Hmm.. Works fine for me. :Oh crap

This could be about some boring blackhole... :(

time will tell!!
Id rather it be a boring black hole than a comment hurling towards us!

We don't have boring holes in porn...

I have Nasa TV. Going to watch.

I think you should click on "Media Channel" to see the conference.

the youngest black hole found. . . . ?

sigh thats not fun!! ugggh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Something about supernova 1979C, no aliens, no comets, sorry :)

thats what i heard, i didnt heard comet hurtling towards earth, 24 hours till impact, so i turned off

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I'm still watching it hoping for aliens but about to give up ( yawn )

just gave up, I prefer working on my porn sites to listening to something I don't quite understand, and is as interesting to me as a wordpress plugin to a 2 year old chimp :)

their voices werent exactly inspiring either. .

booooooooring....

so what was it?

They found the young black hole and know exactly when it was created ... why the fuck they had to make conference about this? No UFOs :(

Some black hole, and they were able to figure out its age, or something.

Don't these people know not to bug us unless it's something decent? You know, we made good friends with some aliens, or we're all going to die, or aliens are about to invade, or something?

Sheesh...

They think that they have learned the date of the birth of a new young blackhole.

The only thing that may concern us: is it of legal age??? :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

pfffffft.. lets see the birth certificate.

heh
