3 December 2009:In the night sky over ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) observatory at Cerro Paranal, Chile

SciFi Question of the day: OMG! NASA has just revealed that those brighter than usual lights we’ve been seeing in the night sky this month are NOT actually planets as we’d originally thought! So… what are they?

Facebook Answers:

Eylat Poliner Aliens? Spaceships? If NASA cannot get it right, who can?

Kirstie Hall seriously???? i was told they were planets but one of them looks like 2 stars so close together they almost touching but then could just b my shoddy eyesight lol

AmyBeth Fredricksen Actualy Kirstie, it’s just a new kind of Christmas decoration your neighbors are trying out. Sure, it LOOKS like it’s way up in the sky, but it’s really just in the neighbor’s yard.

Kirstie Hall if the numptys hadnt moved away i would have put that response in serious contention for a true answer pahahaha

Anthony Deaver – Aliens with tacos!

Harold Chester – DARPA testing FTL.

AmyBeth Inverness – It’s about time aliens brought tacos. The last visitors brought sushi, and the wasabi wasn’t even real wasabi, it green-tinted horseradish.

michael interbartolo – The Tau’ri battlecruiser Prometheus fighting Anubus and the Goa’uld.

oh I have said too much.

AmyBeth Inverness – I’m working that one into your interview… 🙂

David Lee – +michael interbartolo Shol’va! Kree!

But in all seriousness…what lights?

Riki Ballantyne – Own up, WHO has put their chrimbo lights up early? Or should I say WHO has put HIS Chrimbo Lights up early!

AmyBeth Inverness – +David Lee well, we thought that Venus and Jupiter finally came together in what astronomers call a planetary conjunction Tuesday.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46734632/ns/technology_and_science-space/#.T2D9uxES38c

But that Tau’ri battlecruiser explanation is much more probable.
