The Great Discovery is thought to pertain to the simultaneous awareness of two galaxies (also known as GALACTICONS) of one another. This may not seem like any big deal to someone who might be from a theoretical infinite universe, but to us, it was quite significant.
Each of the two galaxies, Dia Sennogg and Negula Pron, had once thought they were the lone occupants of a vast empty Universe. Both the Negulians and the Sennogians' entire belief system and culture revolved around the fact that they were the lone chosen surviving few of a great cataclysmic event that happened long, long ago (approximately 3.1 Billion years ago). In both DS and NP it was theorized that once the Universe abounded with great numbers of galaxies AND SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED TO DESTROY IT. They were all convinced they were all descendents of a chosen few hand-picked to survive by the Ultimate Beings. In actuality it had been a random accident that anything survived.
The were basically FOUR reactions in Dia Sennogg and Negula Pron to the discovery of one another:
1. SOME PEOPLE DENIED AND DISMISSED IT
2. SOME PEOPLE WANTED TO EMBRACE AND WELCOME ONE ANOTHER AND COOPERATE TO MAKE A BETTER UNIVERSE
3. SOME PEOPLE WANTED TO ATTACK AND DESTROY EACH OTHER AND PILLAGE THEIR RESOURCES AND CONQUER NEW TERRITORY
4. MANY IN OUTLYING AND REMOTE AREAS DID NOT KNOW THIS WAS EVEN HAPPENING AT FIRST

YES, IT IS TRUE, AT ONE POINT, NOT TOO LONG AGO, BOTH DIA SENNOG AND NEGULA PRON THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE THE ONLY GALAXY LEFT IN THE UNIVERSE. THEY WERE ACTUALLY VERY CLOSE IN PROXIMITY TO ONE ANOTHER FOR A FULL THREE BILLION YEARS, BUT WERE UNABLE TO DETECT ONE ANOTHER DUE TO THE FACT THAT NO ONE FROM EITHER GALAXY HAD EVER BEEN ABLE TO PENETRATE THEIR RESPECTIVE ENERGY SHIELDS TO EXPLORE OUTSIDE. NEITHER GALAXY HAD DETECTED ONE ANOTHER VISUALLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY BOTH ORBITED THE "BIG BLACK SPHERE" AND WERE ALWAYS ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF THIS LARGE NO REFELCTIVE ORB. THIS WAS NO ORDINARY SPHERE, AS IT WAS LARGE ENOUGH TO CONCEAL AN ENTIRE GALAXY.
THE ORB HAD YET TO BE DETECTED HOWEVER, WHEN IT WAS THEORIZED BY SENNOGIAN SCIENTISTS THAT THERE MIGHT TRULY BE ANOTHER GALAXY IN THE UNIVERSE. THE KELT COMET, WHICH MADE REPEATING AND PREDICTABLE RETURNS TO DIA SENNOG EACH YEAR, MIGHT BE A WAY TO ESCAPE THE ENERGY FIELD HOLDING THE EXPLORERS HOSTAGE INSIDE THEIR OWN GALAXY. ONCE FREE TO EXPLORE THE "OUT" AS IT WAS CALLED, THEY HOPED THEY MIGHT PROVE THEIR UNPOPULAR THEORY. WE NOW KNOW THAT IT DID LEAD TO A GREAT DISCOVERY, AND ANOTHER GALAXY.
WITH THE USE OF THE KELT COMET, SCIENTISTS FROM DIA SENNOG WERE ABLE TO JOURNEY TO NEGULA PRON TO PROVE IT'S EXISTANCE. VIRTUALLY SIMULTANEOUSLY, A GREAT SUPERNOVA (CAUSED BY A DEVASTATINGLY MISCALCULATED EXPERIMENT) IN THE DIA SENNOG GALAXY WAS SEEN BY RESIDENTS OF NEGULA PRON AS IT BLEW CLOUDS OF GAS INTO THE DARKNESS OF SPACE. THE CLOUDS OF GAS FROM THE EXPLODING DOUBLE STAR IN THE BADJO SYSTEM ESCAPED PAST THE HIDING EDGE OF THE BIG BLACK SPHERE AND THE NEGULIANS WITNESSED A GLOW IN THE SKY WHERE ONE HAD NEVER BEEN BEFORE.
IT WAS AT THIS SERENDIPITOUS MOMENT THAT TWO LONE, DYING GALAXIES REALIZED THEY WEREN'T ALONE AFTER ALL.
