"I think its just amazing what we REALLY DONT KNOW."So very true! We are finding planets everywhere! At 130 light years away, that thing is 'across the street' from us, from a galactic point of view.
There is SO MUCH out there that will never be known during our lifetimes. The human race will probably cease to exist before we even have time to scratch the surface of what's out there.....

Spitzer had liquid coolant. They should’ve just let the cold of space in. After all, it’s only 4 Kelvin.

so 130 years ago it was a planet...perhaps by now the mass has ignited the nuclear furnace and it is a small star?
perhaps?

If only it was that easy. It is hard to keep things really cold in an 93 million mile Heliocentric orbit.
One thing that always needs to be accounted for is the big ball of hot gas at the center of our solar system. That, and the energy dissipated by the telescope's electronics.

Kolob? I dunno - can you hie there in the twinkling of an eye?
Besides, we know know that the Reformed Egyptian was mistranslated: according to the continuing revelation of Battlestar Galactica, it's really pronounced "COBOL."
