So, what was it?
a very young super nova in the milky way
What does that mean for us? Well, those of us on Earth.
I suppose they hope to get some data out of it. It's probably important in Cosmology to get their assumptions tested on a real supernova.Quote:

They already theorized that there might be one(studies from gravitational effects, no real data.. all bull, but lets humour them for a second) and only a few hundred thousand lightyears away!Quote:

I don't htink he was talking about that, d-man.
