What’s the difference between a ‘nova’ and a ‘supernova’?
If you are in the near vicinity, not much..................

Having worked in the industry -
just how many light years was this?
Even the warmth you feel on your skin
is a million years old.
Take a few physics classes and hang with the
worlds most prominent astro-physicists
for a few years and you learn stuff.

Too bad about the civilizations nearby that supernova.
They will know their end is coming that will bath the whole planet by lethal radiation.
The starships they were capable of building will not be completed as the local politicians were to short sighted to continue to fund it....

Thanks Red Badger.
Messier Object 101... if you thought it was Messier before, it's even Messier now...
Why yes, I have used that one at least a hundred times.

In 1987 in the Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, a supernova occured. It was close enough that neutrinos from the explosion were detected. Because this new one is about 5000 times as far away I doubt any neutrinos were detected .

...Too bad about the civilizations nearby that supernova. The stars that blow up like this tend to die very young. Not enough time for life to evolve for any planets in orbit.
