Astronomical Phenomenon

Hi,

I've always wanted to shift a bit more attention from the human-social aspects of Trav, toward some scientific, in fact astronomical aspects of the universe. Why else go into space, if its just a nice backdrop outside of the porthole?

I'm thinking of some of more scientific problem solving episodes of ST: Next Gen, or the Larry NIven Known Space stories.

Space is big, but increasingly, its filled with weird, bizarre, fantastic, mesmerizing and stupendous things!

The latest: http://space.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn12430&feedId=online-news_rss20

A subsector with several such things, should hopefully provoke some very cool adventures, without recourse to the usual streetwise shinnanigeans.
 
Isn't the answer obvious, puffing up a planet is the first step in building a Dyson Sphere (to provide a little privacy from those "peeping tom" humans). :)
