Bernal Alpha

These great hollow globes of artificial super-metals, and artificial transparent adamant, ranged in size from the earliest and smallest structures, which were no bigger than a very small asteroid, to spheres considerably larger than the Earth. (Olaf Stapledon, STAR MAKER)

Galactic Assassin

Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day shows a possible assassin, ASASSN-151h. 200 times brighter than the brightest supernova and (temporarily!) 200 times brighter than all the stars of our galaxy combined, this object could be the brightest object ever detected.
