Astronomers to describe phenomenon "never witnessed before"

originally posted by: AtomicKangaroo
I miss when things were just announced.

These days everything seems to have to have "HERE'S AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT IS COMING!" in advance.

And then the announcements are not all that big as they make out to be....

Please world, if you have something to share, just share it instead of messing about and click baiting people.

I wish I could star this twice. It's all about hype these days - just tell it already! Taihen da!

No, but it may be something that they have discovered by way of measuring gravitational waves.

I reàlly hope its not another huge event that ends up being a non event, again.

I think it's about our little stardust friends

Good answer you passed..

Is there a reason that this is in the UFO forum and not space exploration...! Hmm

Because aliens.

I think Mr. Oberg enjoys stirring the pot...not that there's anything wrong with that.

And maybe later on we get confirmation that it's alma discovering some Russian balistic missiles are causing something that Astroscience has never witnessed before or even be possible that it ever could happen?

Just kidding Jim

You would let us know right?

Yes, that's it exactly. Some acquaintances are involved, one of whom is an astrodynamicist. No hint other than it involves LIGO.

An astrodynamicist?

I wonder what part they play in the grand scheme of the discovery? LIGO relies on zero space based resources to do its job, all its gear is on the ground, as far as I am aware anyway.

Yes he does I will be pleasantly surprised if it is UFO related

He specializes in the orbital mechanics of bodies in the vicinity of black holes. My hunch is that they have found a complicated system involving one or more black holes... Perhaps a smaller one orbiting a bigger in an eccentric orbit...

Wait, I have misunderstood something here, perhaps.

Astrodynamics describes the application of Newtonian Mechanics to man-made objects in space, spacecraft, satellites, rocketry, and the like, as far as I know. That does not seem to fit with what you describe as the main thrust of his job.

Newtonian dynamics is a special case. He does relativistic astrodynamics... how bodies behave in extremely warped spacetime.

Ooohhh...

I see. I thought that stuff was just bracketed in with astrophysics, rather than being a separate area of study! Thats my one thing a day learned!

This announcement right on the heel's of Delonge's announcement? What a coincidence...

All Delonge did was announce that he was helping to set up an academy that would include experts who would investigate the UFO phenomenon and other "fringe" subjects.

While I think that's a great idea, His announcement itself added no new evidence (basically he said "I helped set up a group who will now look for evidence"), and I don't see how that has anything to do with some astronomers making a discovery about what is most likely a phenomenon of nature.

One thing the ESO discovered recently, is that Freon-40, an OrganoHalogen was found on a comet as well as a newly born star. This molecule is thought to be produced by life. Wonder if it is the subject that they are going to expound upon.

They found an eyeball looking down on us.

Is this for real


Because that is quite frightening if real

yes.
There's a documentary about it.
