There is also the fact that stars themselves are moving around and even if we were looking right down the barrel of the gun today, we probably won’t be 8000 years from now.

a new star orbiting between the earth and Los Angeles.

I have long suspected that Los Angeles was another planet ...

8000 miles away... where? I had no idea we had another tiny star only 8000 miles away. Pretty dim if you ask me! ;-)

Does GRB radiation travel faster than light?

Gamma radiation IS light.

8K miles away? The universe is a lot smaller than we thought.

Man-in-the Moon marigolds

GAAAAAAKKK!!!

If that wasn't the absolute worst, most dreadful, self-important piece of dreck ever foisted off on an unsuspecting audience, it's at least top 5 material.

Bleh!!!

Where's the brain bleach?

“Forget us...what about the effect on all the Man-in-the Moon marigolds?!?”

Wow! Now there’s a blast from the past.

While I’m sure everyone has noticed the article says the star is 8000 MILES AWAY! “Kinda hurts” the authors credibility.

Agreed! The first 10 pages of Zen + Art of MM was OK but what a psychodrama whiny piece of dreck that was - tossed it at chapter 5.

I might start worrying about this 8,000 years from now.

How did they predict this, did they spot an expiration date with the Hubble?

Some people believe that the mass extinction of the Dinosaurs is because they swallowed their bubble gum too.
