WASHINGTON -- NASA has scheduled a media teleconference Wednesday, May 14, at 1 p.m. EDT, to announce the discovery of an object in our Galaxy astronomers have been hunting for more than 50 years. This finding was made by combining data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory with ground-based observations.

To participate in the teleconference, reporters must contact the Chandra Press Office at 617-496-7998 or e-mail mwatzke@cfa.harvard.edu. Live audio of the teleconference will be streamed online at:

A video file about the discovery will air on NASA Television on May 14. NASA TV is carried on an MPEG-2 digital signal accessed via satellite AMC-6, at 72 degrees west longitude, transponder 17C, 4040 MHz, vertical polarization. NASA TV is available in Alaska and Hawaii on AMC-7 at 137 degrees west longitude, transponder 18C, at 4060 MHz, horizontal polarization.

Been searching the thing for fifty years? Cool.

What is it?
 
They talk about it in one of the links. Not much though....

Basicly, they were looking for old clusters of stars. They found the oldest now known.

I think that they found a black hole since the Chandra-Observatory detects x-rays.

More like the <s>Ass</s> Dark Matter Hole of the Universe

No, it's 2012, and it's coming straight for us!

Sometimes you hunt rocks, and sometimes rocks hunt you. Right, Per?

And Ben Assfleck's chin.

Hey I didn't realise he was also in that movie.
Yes perhaps we should launch him at 2012 as well, might not help much but what do we have to loose?

I bet it's something really incredibly unbelievably boring.

Yes. It's probably some crap that they will need to explain the significance of for awhile and still not get any excitement out of anyone except for some total nasa nerds.
 
NASA scientist to NASA director "Should we tell them that all the chimps we sent into space came back super intelligent?"

NASA director (who is a chimp) "No, I don't think so."

I bet it's that russian dog sent in space years ago.

Laika died during re-entry due to Russian design of the space capsule.

So no.

And it wasn't only one dog. Fer fucks sake, what do they teach you in school these days?
