Astrotoy7 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 It would not be that unusual to find some epic SW geeks working in the field of Astronomy. It seems one of them at the European Space Observatory(ESO) have managed to discover a galaxy is mildly in the shape of a Vaders TIE fighter and managed to get it named after Vader as its more common name. The pic below was actually taken from an ESO affiliated observatory in Chile. SW Haters can stick to calling it NGC-936.. but it's Lord Vaders Pad to the rest of us fanpersons. http://www.eso.org/public/images/potw1009a/ It is pretty easy to get a star named after yourself, but a galaxy is better mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True_Avery Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Wait, if we got a picture of the Galaxy doesn't that mean it is well over a couple billion years old? For all we know, that Galaxy could have disappeared in galaxy collection a long time ago. Either way, awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser'eck Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 touche, because light takes a long time to travel Then I guess that would explain the "A long time ago..." part! Pretty cool all together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Hmmm...or Chuck Norris. No, Bruce Lee indefinately. He is the master of the nunchuk! Anyway, I bet fanboys will be all over this galaxy just because it is named after Vader. Another reason to evade them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 No, Bruce Lee indefinately. He is the master of the nunchuk! Heh, but Chuck Norris has a Greater Beard of Power Well, I guess it was Vader's destiny to eventually get a galaxy named for him, he's just too famous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
