NASA Discovers Saturn's Moon Is Secretly Pac-Man

[samsonguy920]

Just goes to show that what we've come to understand on our own world doesn't necessarily apply to others. The universe is a very big and strange place.

Prince if pacman can be be a moon why can't we... get to work

That looked like Liberty City!

 

[Ekonk]

Guys, I think WE'RE the power pellet!

Oh SHI-

 

[Lemon Of Life]

This does indeed confirm my doubts.

Run for your lives! It's coming for us and you know it!

[blockquote]Scientists working with the composite infrared spectrometer, which mapped Mimas' temperatures, expected smoothly varying temperatures peaking in the early afternoon near the equator. Instead, the warmest region was in the morning, along one edge of the moon's disk, making a sharply defined Pac-Man shape, with temperatures around 92 Kelvin (-181 degrees Celsius). The rest of the moon was much colder, around 77 Kelvin (-195 degrees Celsius). A smaller warm spot -- the dot in Pac-Man's mouth -- showed up around Herschel, with a temperature around 84 Kelvin (-190 degrees Celsius).[/blockquote]

I always wondered where American literature and science would be today if they learned to spell properly (i.e colour) and stopped using dead units of measurement.

explain to me how an "ou" is proper when in my mind it sounds like it'd be "col-eur" in pronounciation. I'm not being snarky I'm actually curious.

But I do agree with you we need to seriously switch to the metric system like the rest of the world, it's getting embarrassing.

And here we were thinking, Pac-Man is just a video game character. In reality, it came from outer space, its mission to eat power pellets, and then us! Mr. Iwatani knew about its existence and he tried to warn us, but unfortunately his message was slightly misunderstood. Now it is too late. Goodbye, friends.

...Not really. Cool, if a bit nerdy, phenomenon nonetheless.

I suppose it's just the way your used to speaking,

to me color sounds like c-oh-lor. I'm curious why Americans dropped all those vowels though.

In other news, an image strikingly resembling Gordon Freeman's face has been found on the dark side of Neptune.

 

[008Zulu_v1legacy]

Woah, Deja Vu.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Wakka Wakka Wakka, IN SPACE!

 

[TheFacelessOne]

Om nom nom wakka wakka wakka

 

[ssgt splatter]

heh heh...random, but all right.

 

[sagacious]

seriously? Death star and now PACMAN TOO?

pretty soon were going to have to rename it Meme-as, with how uncannily often this moon gets around the internet, I think the moon is just messing with us, like it is owned by Cthulu's zany uncle.

 

[Mr. Mike]

Oh man that's so awesome. It's good to see celestial entities have senses of humour too!

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

Well... That is certainly good advertising for Pac-Man...
I wonder if we will find more seemingly game-related things in space...
The chances... are astronomical.
*Pushes glasses further up the bridge of their nose*

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Anyway, this is awesomesauce.

As it has been foretold in The Book of Ixabifle:
"When the man of pac shall reign in the sky, all non-believers shall tremble before the fury of his coming. And all spirits shall lose power be brought back to their ancestral prison. So it is written, so it is Pac-Man"
