This Mysterious Signal 'Could Not Be Explained By Known Physics,' Astronomers Say

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/28/mystery-perseus-cluster-video_n_5627104.html?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000592

"In 2012, Bulbul and her colleagues examined data collected by NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory on the Perseus Cluster, an array of thousands of galaxies in the constellation Perseus. The Perseus Cluster is surrounded by a cloud of superheated gas, which contains ions that each emit their own "line" in the x-ray spectrum.

When the astronomers analyzed the cluster's "spectral signature," they found a mysterious spike that they couldn't explain."

Big Bang Theory Episode:

"The guys have returned home from their three-month expedition at the Magnetic North Pole (from the Season 2 finale). Penny finally reveals her feelings for Leonard by kissing him as soon as he goes over to her apartment to tell her he was back. Meanwhile, Howard and Raj reveal to Sheldon that they and Leonard tampered with his experiment on magnetic monopoles by using an electric can opener. "
