Huge Star Quake Rocks Milky Way

Posted by Zonk on from the hold-on-sol! dept.

SJrX writes "The BBC is reporting that scientists have detected "the biggest explosion observed by humans within [the past 400 years]". The explosion luckily occured about 50,000 light years away form us, on the far side of the Milky Way, as the article goes on to say that had the explosion been within 10 light years of us, it "would possibly have triggered a mass extinction.""

    But it's still close enough for the Bush administration to try to blame the recent evidence for global warming on it....

    I got to have dinner with Frank Drake a few years ago at Lick Observatory
