Default What on earth is a "galaxy hoax"?
While scanning the sidebar on BA's blog, I noticed this:

I don't recall ever having seen BA talk about any Galaxy Hoax. Is this some new conspiracy theory out there that just started up?

ABC (Australia) News in Science: Galaxy hoax claims we're aliens

Quote:
It says that our sun and all its planets do not belong to the Milky Way but rather to a stream of stars being stripped from a dwarf galaxy known as Sagittarius Dwarf.
See BA Blog:
Is the Sun from another galaxy?
Alien Sun followup
Alien Sun, final (?) comment

Note that those "popular searches" are placed by Google and not related to the BA's content. I figured that out the other day when when I followed a "moon hoax" one and got a Hoagland page saying we did go to the moon and discovered crystal palaces!

Edit: or maybe not. I just tried that again and did seem to be getting BA content. I'm not sure what I followed!

I'm pretty sure the searches asked about are the popular ones entered into that lijit.com searchbox just above them, right side of the Bad Astronomy main page (and maybe other pages).
