That's no moon...

That would be cool to see, time laps photograph of the death star.

Maybe it was another life-form firing up their own LHC on their planet.

Eh... it was bound to end sometime. Nice knowing you, gentlemen.

 

[dougkeenan]

Maybe it was ours, reflecting back in some weird way.

Well, it looks like the invasion has already begun:

It´s another civilization testing his LHC acelerator and something goes wrong

Isn't that basically what I said? lol

The thing kinda looks like an error or dust.

By the lack of hydrogen adsorption in the spectrum. If it was really far away, hydrogen floating around between the galaxies will leave its mark on the spectrum.

Where did you get this info? I'd love to see its spectrum.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away.
Something went boom.
The end.

Anything else is just baseless speculation.

Interesting! I was reading a book on alien encounters and one of the comments in it was "Maybe we already see aliens in unexplainable phenomena".

Not that I'm saying this is an alien device or anything more than a new type of supernova style event but it's exactly why space research is necessary.

I think that is a definate.

Aliens, ghosts, Elvis...

Fermi's Paradox. If the universe is so big, than there should be many advanced civilizations out there, some of them way more advanced then us. The odds are in favor of it. If so, then, why don't we see some evidence of their existence when we look at the sky?

Well, maybe we just did.

Or maybe not.

Occam's Razor still applies, of course.

It was a fly flying over the lenses it has happened to me before .
In my opinion, it could be a lot of things. I'll not speculate a lot because I've only seen one picture of it. Anyway they should tell something about sooner or later.

Oh I know. it's just funny that I was reading about potential alien activity (science, not sci-fi) just yesterday.

For 100 days? No. too much data for it to be an abbration, that and the minimum distance being 130 light years makes it a non-dust something.

 

[Andy44]

It's not dust or contamination. If it was, it would show up in every picture in the same place in the frame.

"Sorry, can I interrupt you a moment and say that the unidentified object that appeared in the sky 100 days ago has just vanished."

"So it has. Well, that's one mystery less.
