OK, all together now:

It's Bush's fault.

The timing is suspicious.

hmmmm..dint these supernova happen like 1000s of years ago and we are only now detecting it?

Where's Marvin the Martian and his Earth-shattering "KA-BOOM" when you need him?

Eta Carinae - This is the one to watch.
100X as massive as the sun
Brightened in the 1800's to be the 2nd brightest star in
the sky for decades, ejecting the plume observed by Hubble
8,000 light years away
It has probably already blown and we are just waiting for the shout.

Damn kids joyriding in Dad's deathstar...

I find this report hard to believe. In 1572 the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe observed a supernova which was so bright it could be seen in the daytime. He didn't report any X-ray flashes.

Amazing! We can't predict when or where a hurricane will strike or go in a relatively short period of time. BUT, we "can" predict when a Super Nova WILL happen that has ALREADY happened millions of years ago!

Curiouser and curiouser, I tell you.

thanks, I needed a chuckle

It's Bush's fault.

Naw, Cheney got Halliburton a secrect contract to rebuild after causing the explosion.

It his fault. Bush isn't smart enough to know what a supernova is.

If we had bilateral talks with these stars this could have been prevented.
