One for amateur astronomers I know are in the crowd. I agree with the editorial comments at the end of the article. Not that I think this is anything more ominous than a celestial event that we just recently gained the ability to see, but why indeed did it take over two years for NASA to tell us about it?

Mainly because NASA has a ton of data to analyze would be my bet. They may not have actually looked at it seriously for a good long time. Also, for proper scientific stuff, it's much better to do a little analysis, a little peer review, etc, before releasing to the media. It's kind of bad form (and bad science) to just go screaming to the media with raw data.

Zimm overloaded his 500 crystal changer. Which created a wormhole to a distant part of the galaxy, in the process also moving a black hole that then swallowed up a star.

I thought she was the one who normally felt great disturbances.
