Watch the Supernova LIVE tonight :) 10pm PST....6am GMT

EDIT:

The light is 21,000,000 years old....you cannot watch it real time unless you have a spaceship and a time machine...sorry to disappoint the people who thought it was actually exploding today


So for all of us that dont have a telescope i have just seen on my subscriptions list on youtube a guy called Thunderf00t is broadcasting LIVE footage of the supernova tonight.

Im in the UK...i think its about 2 hours away

Wed. 31st Aug 2011, 10 pm PST.

Im going to try and stay up to watch it but its 3:18am....so i may miss it

Anyways...thought id let you all know so you can be a tiny minority of people to actually watch a live supernova...well....as live as you can from 21,000,000 lightyears lol

anyone know if it will be visible in the western hemisphere?

He's clearly going for the Guinness Book of records attempt for "most boring video broadcast" award.


From last week...

Supernova erupts in nearby Pinwheel Galaxy, closest in 25 years
When doing a routine survey of the nearby Pinwheel Galaxy, located a relatively short 21 million lightyears away from our solar system, scientists managed to capture a star, dubbed PTF 11kly, going supernova.

Yup

Although discovered at magnitude 17, the supernova appears to be becoming brighter. It is estimated that it could reach magnitude 10 in the next few days, which would bring it within the reach of small telescopes or large binoculars. M101 is a face-on spiral galaxy and currently well placed for observation from the UK.

Was picked up by a big one....is getting brighter, so we can observe it with a smaller telescope

Not once in a lifetime.
My first was SN_1987A

Well what an utter and complete waste of my time!!

How many people have telescopes laying around the living cell?

Hopes raised and dashed like a sandstorm of emotional poker.You know I think the title is misleading/decietfull

At this time I will never be returning within this trust breaking thread...

They cant be predicted....so for all we know this will be the only visible supernova for the next 100 years...who knows?? No one lol

Its something you will rarely see twice, unless you are an astronomer.
