The European Southern Observatory (ESO) will announce an "unprecedented discovery" on Monday:
ESO will hold a press conference on 16 October 2017 at 16:00 CEST, at its Headquarters in Garching, Germany, to present groundbreaking observations of an astronomical phenomenon that has never been witnessed before.
[...] By registering for the conference, journalists agree to honour an embargo, details of which will be provided after registration, and not to publish or discuss any of the material presented before the start of the conference on 16 October 2017 at 16:00 CEST.
LEAK IT!
Update: The announcement will be related to gravitational waves, and may involve a neutron star collision, which would also be visible using optical methods.

It was nice knowing you all. Well, most of you.
Bah, more like a small handful of you.
The galaxy will be better off without us.
