Alderaan?

The US space agency's Fermi telescope has detected a massive explosion in space which scientists say is the biggest gamma-ray burst ever detected, a report published Thursday in Science Express said.

The spectacular blast, which occurred in September in the Carina constellation, produced energies ranging from 3,000 to more than five billion times that of visible light, astrophysicists said.

Whoops.

Huge gamma-ray blast spotted 12.2 bln light-years from earth

I think it was a planet that was once strong, but it got overrun by blood sucking, lazy liberals. Once all of the strong people left the plant, it imploded, sending its wretched gama-stench throughout the galaxy, only to infest planet earth with worthless politicians that are more qualified at snorting coke than leading.

So I wonder if their last act was voting in a stimulus on space credits they don't have encouraging their inhabitants to spend money they don't have?

lol @ stupid Alderaanians!

Cool stuff. There was a discussion just the other day about gamma ray bursts where I am currently studying....and this morning actually There is a lot that is still not understood about them but I personally think some of the more recent observations coming in are shedding a lot of light on the whole thing and will help to narrow down exactly what is going on with them. Given what was said, I personally think somebody will be able to do a simple quantitative analysis relatively soon that should help tie it all together....well somewhat "simple" anyways.

Nate, none of this has anything to do with boobs though.

I bet it was Superman's planet. I bet he is pissed.

Interesting. I work for NASA now and I have my hands in all kinds of projects from ISS to the new manned missions to the moon and mars and more.
