Super!

Supernova, that is.



I'll just quote from the site:
Very, very cool news today: for the first time in history, astronomers have unambiguously observed the exact moment when a star explodes.


Read the Whole Thing.. It's not in Geekspeak either, it's well-written and understandable.

Despite the outer parts of the star being heated to several million degrees, this is indeed the epitome of Coolness.

    Well, not exactly the exact moment. But what's a slight delay to get the information between friends?

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
