The star Kochab, in the Little Dipper, about to go supernova

i know this article had been up since yesterday on that website but i wanted to share this with people who are astronomers. kochab is going to go supernova soon or it already had. but future people won't see it in a long time since the light from kochab takes 126 years to reach earth. but we won't see it because we will already be dead i think.

all i know is our grandchildren are going to enjoy it haha.

That is pretty freakin awesome. Good find.

Who knows?, with the advances in science and technology some of us might be around to see it.

That is if we can manage not to destroy ourselves before then.

it would be so cool to see a supernova in the sky!

How do we know it didn't already go Supernova ?

So it has exploded more than likely. As it exploded it released a huge amout of energy. That energy has already hit us, though we couldn't see the cause (the explosion) because it hasn't occured in our time yet. So this energy from the past has already effected us in perhaps a metaphysical way. So is not the past just as real as the present? And if the past is just as real as the present, is not the future just as real as well? So past, present and future exist all at the same time. So there is no such thing as time, it is just an illusion, a tool that the human brain uses to give some structure, some understandability to this uncomprehendable Creation. Namaste

so, the energy was going faster than the speed of light then?? please, do tell.....

subluminal information transpher
instantanious...
any where
in no time at all

I still find it so fascinating that by looking at the stars we are looking back in time. The article states that it takes 126 years for the light from that star to reach us, so if it did go super nova it could have happened at the earliest 1885.
