Good article, but "obviously" this is caused by global warming, so therefore, the supernova is all Bush's fault...

440 million years is a long time...when the supernova exploded, the earth was in the early Silurian period of the Paleozoic. The dinosaurs arose, flourished, and disappeared while this light was making its way here.

I worked on the
IceCube project until recently. We were very excited when we heard about this GRB around February 25, 2006.
Our Principal Investigator had us had us review data in the 2/18/2006 time period but cautioned us to keep things under our hats until the event could be verified by other instruments.
This is very cool!
