Here's what it sounds like:<br /><br />they saw a flash that slowly brightened and dimmed over about 100 days. they were able to measure it using multiple telescopes around the world (Hubble, Mauna Kea and Subaru). There were no stars or galaxies near it at the time or in any of the older images of that patch of space. It probably wasn't in our galaxy though a faint white dwarf suddenly exploding near the upper egde of the galaxy (Which does happen) could be the source. There is something nearby that could be a very faint galaxy. Neither of these sources are terribly probable -just barely possible. It wasn't a gravitational microlense, where something heavy magnifies a star behind it, because the light curve is wrong. Its not closer than 130 light-years because if it was it would have moved against the background, but its not further than 11 billion light-years because it doesn't show certain signatures in the light that such extremely distant objects have. They looked in the records and there isn't anything that looks or acts like it in there so this is brand new. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Jason Abbadon</b> <br /><small>Member # 882</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2008,8,19,18,32,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">September 19, 2008</span> <span class="timeformat-0">06:32 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Gamma Ray burst?<br />I read an odd article on that phenomenon a few years back- no one knows where they come from or why, but they could be extinction level events. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Daniel Butler</b> <br /><small>Member # 1689</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2008,8,19,19,47,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">September 19, 2008</span> <span class="timeformat-0">07:47 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> This wasn't in gamma, though.
