Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 (edited) NASA Detects 'Totally New' Mystery Explosion Nearby Astronomers have detected a new type of cosmic outburst that they can't yet explain. The event was very close to our galaxy, they said.So should it happen you have a crappy day today, it never hurts to think that it could have been a lot more intense.

bouche Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 The event, detected Feb. 18, looks something like a gamma-ray burst (GRB), scientists said. But it is much closer—about 440 million light-years away—than others.So this happened 440 million years ago?OLD NEWS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
