Slashdot Mirror


A Strange Streak Imaged in Australia

Koyaanisqatsi writes "Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day presents a challenge worthy of a large audience: as it says, "Meteor experts don't think it's a meteor. Atmospheric scientists don't think it's lightning". An intriguing dark streak and bright flash that defies explanation showed up on some cloud monitoring pictures. The forumsetup to discuss it is currently hosed, so perhaps fellow slashdotters can shed some light over the mystery?"

    Not sure which irritates me more, your whine of 'can't resist', your use of 'i', or the fact that you use dogshit to brush your teeth. Even your mom hates you and would be glad to see you kill yourself just to get you out of the garage.
