Too bad their telescopes weren’t pointed in the direction of Tehran at the time of their discovery.
Catching a SuperNova is one thing.
Freeing it from the bag after it’s angry is another.
Just got to love the headlines.
Netanyahu blamed for blowing up innocent star. Biden demands Israel stop capturing supernovas.
I wonder how many thousands of years ago that happened.
Not quite true. There was a galaxy that had a supernova with a twist. In-between that galaxy and Earth was something massive enough to bend the light. It turns out it bent the light in such a way that 4 identical images of the far away galaxy occurred. The length of the light path between those 4 different images was different for all 4. Astronomers were able to calculate the length of each light path individually. Since the original light path of one of those images was shorter than the rest they saw the supernova there first. They predicted when each of the other images would light up, hence predicting a Supernova before it happened in the other images.
So where is the video of the super-nova?
I know they take ages, but where is the start?
How did they know of it in advance? Not explained....
Just a note, the supernova exploded a long time ago, and we are just noticing it.
