So I know I’ve been leaning pretty hard on the space shit lately…I’m not even sorry. There’s so much cool stuff going on out there. I guess, technically, there’s so much cool stuff that went on out there billions and billions of years ago that we’re just now starting to be able to see, but still. Space Yesteryear is killing it.

This one just in: scientists have found something out in space that—other than identifying it as a ‘radition-emitting “blob”‘—is utterly unidentifiable.

The ‘blob’ is from something like 12 billion years ago and is among only three other observed space-objects that are even remotely the same age. Shit is old.

Strangely enough, the giant super-duper kicker is just this: the blob is some huge shit. Approximately the size of the Milky Way. The reason that’s got scientists so baffled is that, according to the big-bang-slash-universal expansion theories, nothing was supposed to be even near that big that early in the game. Like…by a lot.

So…what the fuck is it? For now, just a blob.
