    Default Supernova

    Still waiting for this one to blow. Though "very soon" can be a long time in astronomical terms.
    When it does it will be visible in the sky during the day. At night time it should be spectacular. If there is a sudden burst of neutrinos seen by observatories coming from the south, chances are it will only be hours before it's seen.

    I saw SN1987A in the LMC but that was only mag 3 or so.

    Can you imagine the youtube conspiracy videos if we get a daylight one? I don't think I could stand it.

    It's been very unstable for a while and there's a good possibility it will happen sooner than later. And we both know how completely crazy the tin foil hat brigade will go if the shock wave arrives... oh, say the end of december 2011 or in the first couple of months of 2012.

    It'll take a decade before we hear the end of that rot.

    We should run an austech sweep. I'll take 11 Feb 2012

    I must have missed the start of this . What supernova?
    My Health , my Family and my Property are not Government business. Governments should do what they were designed to do . Govern the issues that are best done by a central body in the country to protect it from foreign invasion.State Governments and Local Councils should be abolished to stop the duplication and waste of funds.

    To defeat corruption in the public service , give them three times the penalty. Have them agree on hiring.

    It's coming Tytower. If you want to know where to look, just find the Southern Cross, and it will be about 20 degrees further around the celestial south axis.

    At the moment it's just a bright star, but when shock wave arrives... you won't really need to be told where to look for it.

    The shock wave could arrive in the next hour or then next century.
    It's my guess from it's behaviour that it will be sooner than later.
    Sometime in the next 10 years would not be an unreasonable guess.

    Pick a date.

    Nah, she's very coy about what's involved.
    Got me stuffed all these Medical terms.
    What's a Digital examination?
    Methinks an analogue one would be more appropriate!
    If She's that laid back, I may need assistance.

    Might I suggest to our esteemed and revered B4Life that after all these years he would be able to tell the difference between Digital examination An-a-Log(ue) !!

    But as Frazerr of Dad's Army was oft heard to proclaim, 'We're Doomed I tell you, Doomed !!!'

    Just watching a bit of the Nat Geo channel tonight.
    I am shock to hear them mention that after the Northridge earthquake in the 90's (Los Angles) there were a lot of wide spread blackouts. People contacted the observatories to ask them what were the strange lights in the sky that they were seeing.
    After some confusion, the observatory worked out that they were seeing were... stars.

    No really, how did these people get a man on the moon before the Russians ?
