I told you guys this announcement would be an "Egghead Only" type of anouncement because only NASA would get excited about this to the point they assumed we'd give to snots about it worthy of a press conference with suspense. It's a great scientific discovery and will add to the knowledge of the workings of the cosmos, but as an attention grabber it's about as exciting as watching socks dry.

We can see 46,000 light years away but NASA still can't tell us if there are planets at the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri.

Go figure.

I think x-rays are not needed for near Solar System inspection, so it could be something near the centre of Galaxy. May be the discovery of mysterious Dark Matter and Dark Energy. Could also be an interstellar Black Hole of small size.

Or just simply could be a supernova ramnent near Galaxy's centre in dust.

The discovery is a ~100 years old supernova remnant in our galaxy.

Why is it ridiculous to conjecture some sort of alien evidence? Not that I think NASA is ready to reveal such a thing- but are you living in ther 1950s when this sort of thing was laughed at? Get with it people.

Carlos- "more evidence of Dark matter"?? They've yet to find ANY evidence of dark matter or of dark energy!!

Anyone who does not believe in "dark energy" has not met my kids! And "dark Matter", their rooms are full of it.

And please, no bunnies!

But seriously, The "GREAT HUNT" was for what the bunnies left behind…the plastic Easter Eggs full of teeny tiny galaxies that contain teeny tiny intelligent alien life….Who knows where else they may be found (NASA found this one in Jersey)….I WANT TO BELIEVE…..

Maybe they found the golf ball.

looks to me like they have discovered that we actually live in a bianary solor system and there is a brown dwarf start in an eliptical orbit around what we know as the curent solar system . and elvis, jesus and l ron hubbard are all going to be resserrected and rule the earth for a thousand years and raise bunnys and grow chia pet herb gardens and do there laudry in chocolate rives and there will be bunnies. lots of bunnys.

I wish they would hurry up and tell us that Planet X (NIBIRU) to be real or not. We are a highly evolved and intelligent species and need to know the truth as time is of the essence.

It is a high likelihood of something to do with the supermassive black hole in the center of our galaxy., or perhaps conclusive evidence that frame-dragging predicted by Einstein is correct. Other possibilities would be conclusive evidence of the existence of dark matter and dark energy.

Maybe the universe is really quarked up to what it is suppose to be.

I hope they're announcing the discovery of that monolith that we should have discovered back in 2001, if humankind had progressed as Arthur C. Clarke anticipated.

So, after all these years, they finally found dark matter and Klingons around Uranus.

Guess what, one of the commenters got the correct answer – which has been made available to serious science writers today already. Under a strict embargo, of course, so I won't tell you which one is the winner …

Well since you haven't heard the White House stating a big announcement is due it's nothing of any interest to the general public.

It's as I posted earlier some nonsense only an egghead would be interested in that no one speaking English would ever care about nor understand.

Yes, Nemesis, called also the Death Star, or Sol B, in other words probably a brown dwarf star in binary system with our Sun, or a giant planet orbiting it in a bigger distance – it is not such a bad bet, and quite consistent with the use of Chandra's X-rays for the detection.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemesis_(star)

On the other hand the theory of Nemesis related dinosaur extinction is only 24 years old, so unless there was another theory about the Sol B before, or unless the 50 years is a false indice, it is probably not the right guess.

hmmm…an outer sun or any form or signal or even the tiniest microscopic bit of a life form would constitute "a big announcement" to me….but that is probably asking too much…i just don't think most people care about every little speck of dust or particle that may remotely might effect them. It's hard to get excited but I'm hoping it's something big and relevant.
