Looks like the “rogue star” theory has some credence...

I wonder how long a ‘long exposure’ is regarding the Hubble Telescope.

when they looked for the star’s parent galaxy, they saw nothing at all.

Maybe it was just a passing alien spacecraft throwing an M-80 out the window.....

So why didn’t the team see a galaxy?

Bob was making a beer run, Lori as usual was talking to her mom on her cell and Larry was surfing porn sites.........Nobody was looking thru the telescope.

a stellar explosion seen last January has shocked astronomers because when they looked for the star's parent galaxy, they saw nothing at all. The explosion took place in the middle of nowhere, far away from any detectable galaxy. The astronomers saw no hint of a galaxy even though they looked for one with the world's largest telescope... The explosion belongs to a class of events know as gamma-ray bursts, or GRBs for short. GRBs are triggered when a very heavy star can no longer produce energy.
