CANADA'S FIRST SPACE TELESCOPE FINDS STELLAR "FLAT LINER"

"The MOST team used their tiny but powerful satellite as a stellar stethoscope to take the pulse of one of the best-known stars in the Galaxy, called Procyon (PRO-see-yon), and were shocked to discover their cosmic patient is a 'flat liner'. The star shows none of the pulsations predicted by over 20 years of earlier theory and observations from Earth. The journal Nature will publish these unexpected findings on July 1."

A scientific anomaly! Quick -- who do we make fun of?
