CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Scared-stiff astronomers have detected a mysterious mass they've dubbed a "chaos cloud" that dissolves everything in its path, including comets, asteroids, planets and entire stars -- and it's headed directly toward Earth!

Discovered April 6 by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, the swirling, 10 million-mile- wide cosmic dust cloud has been likened to an "acid nebula" and is hurtling toward us at close to the speed of light -- making its estimated time of arrival 9:15 a.m. EDT on June 1, 2014.


I wonder what a 'scared-stiff astronomer' looks like?

The rest of the article is quite funny too. Especially the piece about evacuating Earth using a space ark.

Everyone in Ireland buys Meade, and they all buy them from Lidl.

ROFLMAO!

Actually stephen thats not a scared stiff astronomer at all. I found her on the platform at limerick junction station. Apparantly she'd been waiting for 'je traaaen ta dublin':) 47 years she'd been waiting. There were a load of trains going to some place called 'Atha Cliath' and 'Corcaigh'. Nothing to Dublin tho:(

Regards and Clear Skies,
