Holy cow. I was reading through the science section at the bbc and came across this
'Huge 'star-quake' rocks Milky Way' it's an article about the biggest explosion ever witnessed by man. It ROCKED our GALAXY!!!! Which happened on Dec. 27. Why isn't this on the front page of every newspaper. CNN, FOX, MSNBC spend more time on wacko Jacko.
"If the explosion had been within just 10 light-years, Earth could have
suffered a mass extinction...."
"One calculation has the giant flare on SGR 1806-20 unleashing about 10,000 trillion trillion trillion watts"
We waste all that time battling amongst ourselves over control of this little blue marble. And yet at any time something beyond our control and prevention could happen on the other side of the galaxy, and unleash an x-ray beam, or something totally frying us. Actually it wouldn't be a bad idea I am pretty sure it will kill you instantly. No atmosphere and all... and maybe, just maybe... it might give Michael Jack son a tan.
