I don't like the look of that, I've got a load of jobs to do I've been putting off until the next time the planets align.
As in, the planets are in an actual line.

Is that Mars that's just above the southern horizon, right now?

Blasts of flashing radio waves coming from mysterious nearby object in space.
Scientists have spotted a “mysterious” object letting out giant blasts of energy, three times an hour.
Whatever the object is – which is relatively nearby, at 4,000 lightyears away – it is nothing like astronomers have ever seen before.
“This object was appearing and disappearing over a few hours during our observations,” said Natasha Hurley-Walker, from the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research, who led the research
“That was completely unexpected. It was kind of spooky for an astronomer because there’s nothing known in the sky that does that.
