John Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I've just had a peek and it's still there. Top left hand corner of the "keystone" shape of Orion. It's forming a nice triangle with Jupiter and the Moon this evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame just how much the moon washes out the sky.I can easily forgive the Moon because it's a natural object and it's fascinating to view in it's own right It's man made light pollution that gets me down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theclearskiesofthemoon Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Some physicists think it's already gone supernova. could spark up tomorrow! Even if it already has gone supernova, we may have to wait another 600 years to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
