NASA to Announce Success of Long Galactic Hunt
WASHINGTON -- NASA has scheduled a media teleconference Wednesday, May 14, at 1 p.m. EDT, to announce the discovery of an object in our Galaxy astronomers have been hunting for more than 50 years. This finding was made by combining data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory with ground-based observations.

So what did they found?
goatsee galaxy?
lets guess what they will announce.I say they found life on another planet.

On the subject of the Search for Life, here's an interesting article explaining why finding it any time soon might not bode well for our own future. It pertains mostly to the search in our home system, but applies just as equally to anything we might be able to discern on planets in our vicinity, but outside our system.

It's essentially an analysis of Drake's equation - if there's anything close to life locally, then statistically, there must be oodles of life elsewhere. That being so, some (ie. lots) must have evolved significantly and spread across the Galaxy. This does not appear to be so - why not? 'Great filter' events, extinction level selectors. The quicker we find life, or the more advanced we find it locally, the more it points to a 'Great Filter' event in our near future.
It's a slightly anthropocentric take, but a worthy one.

I prefer to cling to the hope that our future weapons of untold terror are advanced and precise enough to render all horrific and unthinkably violent destruction relatively localised in nature and with a small fall out footprint, meaning that whoever shot first simply won outright rather than killing the whole planet and everything on it.

Habitable zones with finely tuned constants governing terrestrial planets like earth have yet to be discovered anywhere in observable space. It would seem that though microbial life is likely to be found, complex life is not so likely. Seems that the most current data has turned the dated "copernican principle" on it's head.
