No. No, not that.

“3,000 light-years away”
so it happened 3,000 years ago.
This thing they call “NASA”’is probably the most untrustworthy crowd of losers
ever known to man.
No. No, not that.
I’ll be looking for it.
Some historians suggest that the appearance of a “new star,” caused by the supernova SN 1054, may have inspired Native Americans from the emerging Mississippian culture to come together and form a large urban community. This event is believed to have led to the founding of the urban mound settlement of New Cahokia, located near present-day St. Louis, Missouri.
Archaeologists believe that Cahokia, often called “America’s Forgotten City,” reached its population zenith in the late 11th century with around 40,000 inhabitants. This estimate suggests that Cahokia was among the world’s most populous cities at that time, surpassing the sizes of contemporary London and Paris.
Because we all need to know that the stone age primitives of North America had bigger cities than those stupid Europeans. And now -- back to astrophysics.
Maybe this time the giant will give up the ghost and lose it all to the dwarf, and result in something much brighter. Is that possible?
The appearance of novae, or “new stars,” in the night sky has historically held significant cultural, philosophical, and scientific influence. In antiquity, these celestial phenomena were often interpreted as omens or divine signals...
TRUMP!
I don’t usually go gaga over new Webb pictures, but this is kind of neat.

Signs and wonders...
NASA sounds awfully confident when it says this recurring nova could happen this year. Are we getting set up for another big disappointment, like we had with Comet Kohoutek? The thought just occurred to me that this is the 50th anniversary of Kohoutek’s flyby into the inner solar system.
