    I know we have a few people here who like astronomy, so you might like this.

    For now you'll need some impressive kit to see it, but its reckoned it will get brighter over the next few weeks and when it does, you'll be able to see it with binoculars.

        I've got one. Not "just" though ... but it's big. When are you arriving Ziggy? Assuming you haven't had a better offer I mean ... :)

        It's a bit strange when you think that the Super Nova is probably over now since the light from it has taken around 11 million light years ago to get here:doh::scratch::hate-shocked::snork:
