This carnivorous galactic behaviour must somehow be Bush’s fault.
It’s imperialistic. What right does our galaxy have to eat other galaxies? We must pay reparations to the small galaxy for the sins of our galaxy.
Or at least, this must be the result of Sarah Palin’s overly-honest speech.

Maybe the smaller galaxy was hiding in some dark matter and attacked the Milky Was galaxy by surprise. The Milky Way galaxy was has the right and duty to defend itself from all intruders.

Too bad you can’t get a “caucus” designation for these kinds of threads where one could read serious discussions of the article at hand.
Thanks for posting it.

the astronomer has now measured the radial velocity of 12,000 stars in that region for the first time. In this way she found that 15 stars show a different velocity pattern than the othersCall me skeptical, but any large data set will have outliers. And what's with the image anyway? If there's only 15 discovered members in this steam of stars (if it exists at all) why do I see several hundred stars locations depicted?

Amen to that. We need a filter to drop out the jokers and Helen Thomas pics on science and tech threads.

"Too bad you cant get a caucus designation for these kinds of threads where one could read serious discussions of the article at hand."That would be nice! One of these types of threads could go for three pages, and 80% of the posts would be annoying bullshit, and it's always the same - Muslims, Global Warming, Bush's Fault, Something to do with Uranus, ect, ect, ect. It's a little funny the first time or two you see something like that, but on EVERY related thread, it gets old.
