    An unknown object in space was discovered by a doctoral student in Australia. Apparently this "thing" beams out radio waves about 3 times an hour. The pictures in the article shows what they think the object looks like... I wonder how they "determine" what that object is since it's so far, even with an electronic telescope...

    So, a slowly rotating pulsar? Or a pulsar that's orbiting a black hole that makes it seem slow to us?

    Or aliens readying an invasion. Looks like it's "Curtins" for mankind!

    Oh, one would already have to be very far gone to make a pun that bad.

    Every 18 minutes. Must be a Yiddish object. (The rest of you can look it up...) ;)
