Re: Supernova discovery
How long has it been since a super nova was observed to be within our own galaxy? Of course it would be nice to see one, but as long as it’s not too close. I am always fantasizing about Betelgeuse going off. It’s in the red giant stage and is a candidate for a super nova, but at 429 ly is that a bit close for comfort? How far away would be safe? It would be spectacular though.
