Giant new planet discovered
 

cool

lets call it sphincterville

omfg. How the hell can they see something that's 450 lightyears away from Earth? Crazy shit.

Did they actually name it 'The Very Large Telescope'? eek:

bet its actually a blop of coffee on the lens of the telescope

rofl!! happy:

it's just amazing how big 'outer space' is. Something that many light years away is just rediculous. If we even ever figure out a way to travel at the speed of light without falling apart/messing around with time it would take an incredibly long time to get there anyway. dayum....

Space is one cold mother fucker.

It's called VLT because it is actually 4 telescoped hooked up together.

There is also a VLA (Very Large Array) in New Mexico:

On the topic of the article, its neato to see. Too bad its freezing there, and the planet is absolutley enormous.

BTW 450 light years away is so insignificant it's pretty much our own back yard. It sounds far, but when compared with the rest of the galaxy, it's a joke. And it's because the planet is so huge that we were able to see it.

finally, they found my left testicle back

Awesome. I still prefer Earth.

thats cool, Its mine.

lets call it death star

earth is dying because of the non-earth lovers. oOo:
