In 1987, light particles of a supernova arrived 4.7 hours later than expected

That one is a little far fetched to be believed. We know exactly when neutrinos from the 1987A supernova passed through earth (they were detected by several underground neutrino detector experiments), but I doubt we know exactly when photons from 1987A arrived. The moment that Canadian astronomer FIRST noticed 1987A visually from that observatory in Chile doesn't count as the moment the photons arrived.
