AURaptor 1,122 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Scientists Have Detected an Unexplained Explosion Coming From a Galaxy 10.7 Billion Light-Years Away 1,000 times more energy than every star in the galaxy!!! ( roughly 400 BILLION ) Scientists have taken the deepest X-ray image of our Universe to date - and within it, they've found evidence of a huge, unexplained explosion coming from a galaxy around 10.7 billion light-years away. The galaxy itself appears to be fairly faint and unremarkable, but in October 2014, it suddenly became at least 1,000 times brighter over a few hours, before fading into oblivion again. No astronomical phenomenon that scientists currently know of can explain the behaviour. "We may have observed a completely new type of cataclysmic event," said one of the researchers Kevin Schawinski, from ETH Zurich in Switzerland. "Whatever it is, a lot more observations are needed to work out what we're seeing." The mysterious explosion was so powerful that, for a few minutes, the X-ray source produced 1,000 times more energy than all the stars in that galaxy. No event similar has ever been detected anywhere else in the Universe. http://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-have-detected-an-unexplained-cosmic-explosion-coming-from-a-galaxy-10-7-billion-light-years-away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagleBiker 0 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 What they're seeing is obviously the Death Star being destroyed. Think about it. A big explosion that took place long ago in a galaxy far, far away. What else could it be other than the Death Star going up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
