NASA Announces Televised Chandra News Conference

WASHINGTON -- NASA will hold a news conference at 12:30 p.m. EST on Monday, Nov. 15, to discuss the Chandra X-ray Observatory's discovery of an exceptional object in our cosmic neighborhood.

The news conference will originate from NASA Headquarters' television studio, 300 E St. SW in Washington and carried live on NASA TV.

Media representatives may attend the conference, join by phone or ask questions from participating NASA locations. To RSVP or obtain dial-in information, journalists must send their name, affiliation and telephone number to Trent Perrotto at: trent.j.perrotto@nasa.gov by 10 a.m. EST on Nov. 15. Reporters wishing to attend the conference in-person must have a valid press credential for access. Non-U.S. media also must bring passports.

Scientists involved in the research will be available to answer questions. Panelists providing analysis of the research include:

So, here goes my take on this subject, the probability for my creative mind is endless so I hope I don’t get lost in my speculations.

1. Since this object was discovered via Orbiting Space Telescope and is being represented as extraordinary that it requires a public announcement, more than likely it is;

a. An anomaly or large planet, comet or object that poses so potential danger or value to us.

b. A solar system identical to ours with an orbiting planet that appears to have an atmosphere, so thus potential life.

c. A sun in a neighboring solar system.

I know that more than likely it is not a mother ship or any type of space craft or the President and other top officials would be involved. However, I do think this announcement is prelude to additional deep space missions or building deep space weapons. As you may know, Obama has canceled NASA project; Space Station, Ares 1 and the Constellation Project. Instead he has added funds from those projects and additional funds for deep space projects. Actually the Space Station was canceled by the Bush Administration.
