Basil Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 There's an "object" out there that may be from another galaxy. Note that it's WAY out there, though. Usable if your setting has very, very fast FTL. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap090123.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyrath Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Re: Intergalactic wanderer Now, if this was a 1950's SF novel, that globular cluster would be the last remnant of a dying galaxy, filled with sinister ancient eldrich aliens who are looking for a fresh young galaxy to conquer.

Cancer Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Re: Intergalactic wanderer At a distance of 91 kiloparsecs, and a radial velocity of 20 km/sec (with respect to the Sun, approaching) it's gonna take a while for the invasion fleet to get here, though. Within a few percent, 1 km/sec ~= 1 parsec / million years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Re: Intergalactic wanderer It doesn't have to arrive at our galaxy. It just has to get within range of their starfleet. And do so at about the time they all "wake up" from their millennia-long hibernation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlHazred Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Re: Intergalactic wanderer For a semi-hard-science bit, it could be an anti-matter galactic remnant. Complete with anti-matter extraterrestrials! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
