Yep, that's what they're calling it.

Apparently, a Galaxy Zoo project volunteer

"might have found a new class of astronomical object".

Is this for real Carol, or a wind up do you think?

It looks a pretty odd shape and colour, but hey, the universe will have plenty of surprises hidden.

Wow...wish my teachers looked like her..

Ron, I guess we'll know soon enough... from what it says, they're going to put the Hubble on it.

Geeze, can you imagine how awesome it would feel to discover a new class of objects? :mrgreen:

[NickH]

It looks real, and as such a pretty amazing doscovery..

Well, we can only hope. I only pray that there are no screaming, Little Green Men/Women in Space Headlines, once the Media get a hold of it.

How is admiring how pretty she is being sexist...

My teachers looked like Zelda from Terrahawks.. (apart from cookery supply teacher, she was nice)

Martin, stop being so PC. I know you work in the NHS and therefore aren't allowed to be a normal Human Being, but hey man! Being non-PC is a growing sport :hello1:

Hope you have a good observing session tonight, I will be assembling my new Skyliner 300P Flex Tube truss Dob - I may (just) manage out to do a wee bit of Lunar observing later this evening.

Cheers

It's an amazing discovery whatever it is.

It will be great to see what Hubble shows
