Galactic death ray!

All I want for Christmas ...

A black hole blasting an immense jet of energy into a neighbouring galaxy has been observed by astronomers for the first time.

In a burst of galactic violence recorded by astronomers in the US space agency's ground and space-based observatories, the black hole of a "death star" is seen shooting the jet of radiation into the adjacent galaxy, NASA said.

The jet is so powerful that it wipes out any life in its path.

"We've seen many jets produced by black holes, but this is the first time we've seen one punch into another galaxy like we're seeing here," said Dan Evans, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and leader of the study.

"This jet could be causing all sorts of problems for the smaller galaxy it is pummeling," said Mr Evans, who led the research team making the discovery.

And they thought global warming was bad.

6 Oh I see, it looks fine in Firefox. Perhaps you could now delete this and all my other comments except my first. Now I owe you a drink.

then again it's probably best to go back in hibernation. When you have Nabsucov and Laime welcoming you back you know something's rotten in Denmark.

 

Homer is now supporting Nazi economics by the way. He's been furiously putting up a sterling defense in support of Da Fuhrer's         " economic" plan over at Catallaxy.

8 I welcome all commenters, as long as they aren't excessively abusive or boring.

I'll have a go at those comments. The software that drives this website is still undergoing development and bug-fixing, so if I can't fix it I'll talk to the webmaster.

EP, it's great your back!

 

I found it very hard to delete you off my blogroll when I discovered your old blog had died. I always considered you to be one of the more logical of conservative pundits - able to argue without engaging personal attacks, death threats or saying that Hitler was really a Lefty* as so many RWDB are prone to do.

 

I will now take great pleasure in adding you back to my blogroll.

 

Now keep on blogging!!

 

* No is side of politics has a monopoly on evil or Hitler for that matter!

12 I have read the whole story, and it's horrible. Death star 'could be wiping out alien life'. I wonder, how if it's happen with our sun? Then like what you writes, doom or end of the world. I'd rather think about penis pumpe than about doom.

13 The doom is coming. People said the doom is on 2012. Only Tibet would be safe. Is that right? I can't believe it. How's about my restaurantes madrid?

14 I wonder about this black hole? I want to see it. It said that black hole can sucks everything and wipe out everything. But, the truth is restaurantes en madrid will satisfy your stomach with full information about foods.

15 Forget about the doom. The doom will happen anyhow. Right now what we need to think is how we live our lives. The restaurantes en madrid is the best place for you to hang out.
