'Something is happening toward the constellation of Aries. Telescopes are tracking an unusual transient there as it changes daily. No one is sure what it will do next. The entire space mystery began on Feb 18 when the Earth-orbiting robot Swift satellite noticed an unusual transient began to glow dimly in gamma rays.'
