Something I’ve been meaning to talk to you about, but just haven’t been able to figure out the words for some time now…
it’s just that…
Alright, alright- seriously France…
what is up with this? I know I’m late to comment but…

Star Explodes from very very far away, no one notices, nothing changes.

Nope, not the latest Brittany break-down. It’s a real star.

The gamma rays were detected by NASA’s Swift satellite at 2:12 a.m. “We’d never seen one before so bright and at such a distance,” NASA’s Neil Gehrels said.
