The test is whether it emits infrared waves. If it does, we may have our first confirmation of a Dyson Sphere

Just wait until some astronomer figures out that’s actually a picture from an old Star Trek movie...

Wonder what's the little black dot around 7:00 o'clock? Zoom in on it and it looks real, what ever it is.

Hmm. That is cool. Are we sure we’re not looking at a tadpole egg floating in some water with lots of sparkly silt stirred up? (Like the “Men in Black” locker within a bus station within a locker within a bus station view of the Universe!)

Your tagline, together with the image, caused my computer screen to be sprayed with green tea-!

Are they 100% certain it is not a Chrono-Synclastic Infundibulum?

Good eye, Cajun!

That little black dot is a melanoma.

The Cygnus Bubble is traveling to the Mayo clinic to have it biopsied.

That is why we’ve been able to get such good pictures of it.

It should also serve as a reminder to everyone that they should wear “sun-screen” whenever they go undulating through space.

Or perhaps a multi-faceted Spork Weasel?
