No, because any planet near that star would have been destroyed along with the star itself 4 billion years ago. There would be no more planet, let alone aliens that could see us.TechnoWorm said:If there were aliens living in a planet(a planet older than earth) near that star,
does that mean, At this time they're just seeing how Earth gets created?
Nah. I don't believe in the whole "2012" prophesy or whatever it is. And I don't think a black hole will be very near to Earth in 2012.Bladexdsl said:get a good look at what happened to the star cos that's us in 2012
Even though I don't believe the whole "2012" prophesy. That's what I'm thinking when it's 2012. But I don't think "Planet-X" or 'Nibiru" even exist at all.Bladexdsl said:what so it's gonna be planet X hitting us instead?
My edition is quite old. I sent for the new edition a while ago, I expect it in a hundred or so years.Devante said:The guide is wrong! If you hold your breath in space, your lungs will rupture! What a fatal mistake for travelers!!! Don't aliens have editors?!

Say hellow to hawking-radiation.
oh so another millennium bug fiasco than?FiReFoX_7 said:Even though I don't believe the whole "2012" prophesy. That's what I'm thinking when it's 2012. But I don't think "Planet-X" or 'Nibiru" even exist at all.Bladexdsl said:what so it's gonna be planet X hitting us instead?
Wow, a star sucked by a black hole. That's... interesting.

QUOTEAnother astronomer friend of mine, Bill Keel, is also a BAUT member. He read the thread, and used the SARA 1-meter telescope at Kitt Peak, Arizona, to observe the burst:
The picture on the left is his observation on April 1, and the right one's last April 4. The position of GRB 110328A is circled. As you can see, it was pretty faint. It has apparently faded somewhat over the three day interval — which is expected; the initial event (a star getting torn apart! I can’t get over that!) released a huge flash of energy which faded over time. It’s hard to see in the two images because the burst looks about the same brightness, but the second observation had a longer exposure time (you can see fainter stars in it), so the source did fade.

* Or, to be pedantic, it took nearly four billion years for the light from the explosion to get here. i doubt our galaxy was even formed then

That freaks you out? Consider this: 4 billion years ago the inhabitants of that doomed planet wouldn't even be able to see the Earth because the light arriving from the Earth's location would be 8 billion years old. At that time, of course, the Earth didn't exist.Zorua said:Extremely interesting though what freaks me out is that it actually happened 4 billion years ago.

Ok, you're right Zorua, there's no confirmed planets here. But there could've been and they would not have been able to see us.

Umm, that was a star? How can it have inhabitants?
