Bye-bye Alderaan!

From space.com:

Astronomers have detected a new type of cosmic outburst that they can’t yet explain.

Other aspects of the newfound eruption were inexplicable, astronomers said. It was dimmer than most. Even so, the newly spotted point of light in the sky outshines the entire galaxy in which the event occurred.

The eggheads at NASA say it’s some kind of gamma ray burst. But I think they’re missing the obvious:

the Death Star!

Sounds like we better get the eggheads working on those X-Wings.
