Supernova 2012aw M95 Galaxy....WOW!

So this isnt something i can see with my naked eye is it?

I have to own a fancy looking glass aka telescope.

Time does not exist. It is only a human perception, required for this third density state.

Here is a supernova that was visible from Earth in our daytime sky in 1054

The Crab Nebula, the result of a supernova noted by Earth-bound chroniclers in 1054 A.D., is filled with mysterious filaments

so can i ask? we know what we,r seeing hapened many millions of years ago.....so in theroy time travel is possible....or am i just being thick

How many trillions of lives within effective (deadly) range have been terminated. When is our number up likewise?

Yes when we view the Supernova posted we are seeing what occured millions of years ago - It took that long for the light to travel here - so in effect we are looking back in time.
If the theory of the speed of light is correct that is
When you look at the Sun it is 8 minutes ago in time as it takes that long for it's light to travel here - so they say

Time is space that is kinetic. Space is time that is static. Time is the current. Space is the voltage. Both are expressions of some existence that cannot be detected with our crude sensors. Measurements mean of time are falsehoods and artificial, relative standards. But time is a "material" existing in a state of kinetic. Implosive, from the infinite expanse toward the ONE infinitely kinetic, infinitesimal Singularity is all the future, and after the infinitesimal duration generation of the string of instances occurring at Planck rate we call "the present", the generation of the dimension of width, and the continuation of the time current implosion, now as all the past. The true oddity is when the imploding time current impacts the infinite impedance and stops, converting into static infinite space as width, that the explosion phase takes place. Our Universe and our perception exists in the narrow bandpass when BOTH space and time co-exist while in transition, just after "the present" when space is converting back into time, as all the past.

Dude that thing looks massive, I wonder how many thousands of suns you could pile in to that dot

Be interesting to see how this evolves!

Cheerz!

Hence in the universe, no time has passed. It is O. Infinite.

Jeez. 38 million years ago. Think of everything that was destroyed there 38 million years ago and then think of everything that was created from the fusions that took place via the death of that star. Speaking in terms of past lives, some of you could be seeing an image of you and your planets death--some the birth of atoms you once had.

Yes quite a mind boggling idea indeed

Huh?

At the moment, it only rates as a “possible” supernova – although the well-known Bad Astronomy blog says it’s nearly certain – but the possibility of catching a supernova “in the act”, so to speak, is a hot prospect for astronomers.

I do not have a strong background in astronomy or astrophysics, so perhaps someone could explain this to me. Does this mean that it has yet reach its brightest state? That this star is just the beginning of reaching supernova?

Thank you for posting this. I was so excited I ran outside with my 8" dob (telescope) to have a peek. Lucky me the clouds decided to move away as I was setting up. Very faint at the moment and Mars is so bright it all but drowns it out. Hopefully, as the supernova brightens and as Mars moves away in the coming weeks, I'll be able to get a better view.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this but there is another supernova in NGC 4790, near Spica in Virgo, which was discovered just 2 days before the one in M95! The universe never ceases to amaze me.

Dueling bright supernovea...

60 million years ago a supergiant star exploded in the galaxy NGC 4790 in Virgo. 22 million years later another overgrown and underfed supergiant star ended its life in the galaxy M95. After all that time traveling through space, the light from each explosion arrived within two days of each other in the skies over planet Earth. What a joy to see them both in their final glory.

Edit: Also check out this informative video about the supernova in M95

I just hope nobody got hurt.
It's a big universe. Somebody coulda been living there?

2012aw supernova.

so we all came from the stars. (sorry if you a bible person just ignore me)

we did actually all come form the stars out there.

so this supernova happened 38 million years ago. so maybe we are witnessing the supernova that eventually created us. yes, the earth formed 4-5billion years ago but maybe our dust just arrived here 37 odd million years ago?

As we now witness it go supernova from 38million years ago and make the connection we too will now go 'supernova' and evolve to the next stage of our exsistance.

get ready to go supernova people!!!

The current thinking is that there is a black hole at the centre of every galaxy.

Exactly what I was thinking about. There could have been a lot of different "life forms" between us and that star. I can only imagine being anywhere "universally" close to that star would have been catastrophic to say the least. I can also imagine that it created plenty of life as well. 38 million years is a long time for particles carrying the beginnings of new life to travel around and find a new host planet.

Then again, maybe an alien race just blew it up.......
