Well, methane is a pretty good indicator of organic activity, and they first detected it years ago, so new shiat has come to light, man.

This just in, the Media makes headlines amazing and then contradicts them within the article. Ric Romero will follow up with more at 10PM.

Yes because when I want news about science I always turn to the tabloids.

From "Life found on another planet. I, for one, welcome our farting overlords", 10 Dec 2008:
rdyb: I thought this was somebody jumping the gun on NASA's Mars methane seep press release... I mean, um... well, just wait about a week

HA!! so it was a month, not a week. stupid Sun still could've waited for the press conference

I'm just shocked that an article in The Sun has ever reached 12 paragraphs.

In other news, sailors fighting in the dance halls, law men beating up the wrong guy.

This thread is a saddening bore. I swear I've seen it ten times before.

Any Farkstronomers here that can tell me what I saw in the SW sky last night around 7:00? I'm in coastal NC. I think it was a planet but I don't know which one.

Venus is far brighter than even the brightest actual star in the sky, Sirius. Look at Orion's Belt (in the southeastern sky at a reasonable hour). Follow the belt to the left and down. The belt will "point" just above Sirius.

A neat free program that makes this easy is Stellarium. I don't have a link since I'm posting from my phone, but it's an awesome program.

I was going more for cliche'd and pathetic. To each their own I guess. I'm sure with methane will come some fart jokes to make you giggle. Congrats.
