Proof of alien war

One of the brightest supernovas in recent years has just been recorded in the nearby Whirlpool galaxy (M51). Surprisingly, a seemingly similar supernova was recorded in M51 during 2005, following yet another one that occurred in 1994. Three supernovas in 17 years is a lot for single galaxy, and reasons for the supernova surge in M51 are being debated. Pictured above are two images of M51 taken with a small telescope: one taken on May 30 that does not show the supernova, and one taken on June 2 which does. The June 2 image is one of the first images reported to contain the supernova. The images are blinked to show the location of the exploded star. Although most supernovas follow classic brightness patterns, the precise brightening and dimming pattern of this or any supernova is hard to predict in advance and can tell astronomers much about what is happening. Currently, the M51 supernova, designated SN 2011dh, is still bright enough to follow with a small telescope. Therefore, sky enthusiasts are encouraged to image the Whirlpool galaxy as often as possible to fill in time gaps left by intermittent observations made by the world's most powerful telescopes. Views of the developing supernova are being uploaded here.

Looks like they have weapons that could cause stars to go nova. Glad we don't have to mess with them.

If they can travel ~3/4 of the distance across a galaxy in ~17 years, maybe we should be worried.

What if they realise that TridenT is our only hope?

What if Trident is there weapon sent to Earth to destroy us!?!?

Wonder if supernovas have magnetic or attraction properties? Like the concept of a black hole.

Yeah they have attraction properties, like a chick magnet.

It always amazes me just how many stars there are out there.

This galaxy is 31 million light years away.

Well gravity is a function of mass so it wouldn't be any more massive that the star that was there before was. In fact as the nebula that forms grows, the attraction should decrease.

No reason to think they only have one machine/ship that can do it. Maybe they don't even need to be physically present at the star.

Yes, their telepathy demolishes the laws of physics.

 

[JTsyo]

Why?



Yes, their telepathy demolishes the laws of physics.

As the mass of gas passes whatever if being acted on, the pull will be on the other side. If we assume the gas is in an uniform sphere, then the force on an object within the shell would be zero. So you make a sphere around the distance that the object is from the nova then only the mass within that sphere results in a net force.

For not needing the 17 year gap, I was pointing out the assumption PB was making.

If your sphere encompasses all the mass there was in the star, there is no difference.

Ah - good to know that our laws of science are never wrong, could never change, and there isn't anything out there that we aren't aware of yet

Not if you're within that sphere.

 

[Squisher]

I think the war is over by now.

 

[Farmer]

You are outside the sphere, dipshit.

Clearly Jesus no longer required these stars so he got rid of them.

God is great!

We are the Borg. You will be assimilated....

true, it happened 31 million years ago... :biggrin: maybe they send some cells to earth or something...

 

[HumblePie]

Maybe this super power race is exploiting dark matter to implode stars at will!

 

[PlasmaBomb]

That is why TridenT is our only help... when they assimilate him they will become all emo and useless... shh don't tell them!

Goddam senior galaxy driver, left his goddam left turn signal on.

It's the Time War - The Last Great war between the Daleks and the Time Lords. The Doctor had to put Gallifrey and the nearby stars in a Time Lock in order to contain the war.

Saw it in a documentary somewhere...

I'm in yer galaxy, splodin' yer starz...
