I thought we were pulling Atlantis and Enterprise out of mothball storage to crew it with Bruce Willis, Luke Wilson, Steve Buscemi and a bunch of other rag-tag miscreants to blow the thing to smithereens. . .
. . . No? We’re not doing that?
Aw man. :smack:
Tripler
Bruce Willis’ crew had a better soundtrack anyways.
I could eat.
That’s a pretty cool image. Certainly going to fuel the speculation about alien visitors. And it could be an alien probe, we should be prepared for another visit in a few million years.
I tried to impress folks in another thread, but they didn’t go for it, folding cell phones be damned.
Trouble is, the image is just an artist’s impression based on the scant description “quite a bit longer than it is wide” - I mean, quite a lot of things fit that description - I think it’s a shame the thing is here and gone before we could have got a proper look.
You know what your problem is, Pal?
You confuse people with facts.
That is your problem, Pal!
In a sane culture, there would already be official scientists and engineers at the drafting tablets designing the probe to catch up with that thing.
Anybody try beaming “whale song” at it?
We should send out a mission to see if Mathilda May is inside it.
It could be a space dildo. Just sayin’
Or a turd. Squirted out the ass of the Eminent Auk of the Milky Way and congealed in that shape. [Guy Fleegman voice]You don’t know[/Guy Fleegman voice]. What if it is a chunk from inside the nose of the Great Green Arkleseizure? Are you ready to deal with that?
Science did not invent TMI, but researchers have sure found a hell of a lot of it. I mean, do I want to know about the mating habits of garden snails (hey, it could be one of those things).
Another reason to be glad that it came no more close than it did.
There is only one Sun, one Moon, one Earth, one Solar System, one Galaxy, and one Universe. There are many suns, moons, earths, solar systems, and galaxies, and might be multiple universes. The capitalization matters. At least, that’s the convention used by the International Astronomical Union and the American Astronomical Association.
