"Everyone loves a surprise, be it an unexpected birthday celebration or the clever twist in a gripping mystery novel. Unlike these instances contrived by people, however, surprises in astronomy have a distinct beauty and thrill. Any new cosmic phenomenon, whatever it is, has never been experienced by any other person." (ASTRONOMY) This article describes astronomical discoveries that occurred by accident.
