NASA is expected to announce a new discovery by researchers using the Hubble Space Telescope on Wednesday (Jan. 26).


The space agency has scheduled a teleconference with reporters for 1 p.m. EST (1800 GMT) on Wednesday to announce and discuss the finding, which will also be published that day in the journal Nature.


"Astronomers have pushed the Hubble Space Telescope (http://www.space.com/8261-hubble-space-telescope-20-years-cosmic-awe.html) to its limits and have seen further back in time than ever before," NASA said in an announcement posted on its website today (Jan. 21).



Audio of the teleconference will be streamed live on the space agency's website, according to NASA's announcement. The briefing coincides with research that will be released by the science journal Nature on Wednesday, the space agency said.

Timing is key and I may be overreaching here but NASA is making an announcment the day after the State of the Union address, shortly after this information (http://www.eutimes.net/2011/01/millions-of-chinese-stunned-after-government-makes-obama-ufo-statment/)? Interesting.

This is a hoax/disinformation.

This is the actual Sky News site: http://news.sky.com/skynews (Another one of many companies owned by News Corp./Rupert Murdoch).

As to what NASA has discovered via Hubble, I'm not holding my breath, but I'll still take beautiful doctored pictures of the universe over nothing any day. Eye candy is still eye candy :)
