The upside is that no one on that planet will ever need to pass through a TSA scanner again.

I guess that planet wasn’t paying enough taxes and had to be blasted.

Well, we all know what happened the last time a planet exploded.

I sure hope it isn’t Romulus and Spock is again too late to stop the planet’s destruction.

How come the pictures are all cartoon? Where are the real data, real pictures?

The data probably isn’t in photographic form.

Why, are you a *real* mountain lion?
Because of the real data, the artist’s conceptions are possible.

I got my hopes up to see some pictures and was disappointed with the cartoons. They make some really great digital representations of some of the strange happenings. I once worked for USGS and saw more than my share of photos.
Mountainlion started as mountainlyons because I lived in the mountains above Lyons. I kept spelling it wrong so I changed it.

How the heck do they know 900 tonnes of the upper atmosphere got blasted away? and has the EPA been notified?
To: SunkenCiv
Well, if the star is 63 light-years away, this actually happened in the latter half of 1948 or the first half of 1949. Therefore it’s Harry Truman’s fault, not George W. Bush’s.
