Supernova next year

[bomberbaz]

🧐  Well according to this I found whilst browsing info on CygnusA   In 2022 we will see a Supernova from Earth with our own eyes

As much as I would dearly hope this to be correct, I am not holding my breath.

My local garage has free petrol tomorrow... that what the sign says.....

It's ok though because Colm Smyth says it will be too far away to be a danger to earth. Phew! 🤣

Cool. I would rather see a Supernova though. 😁

I went to watch a stage of the RAC rally once, but it was so foggy that I could only see their headlights.

I think you could find more facts in the words of David Icke.

More poopernova than supernova!

We need a good, local supernova to burn all this cloud away. So what if it takes the atmosphere with it? Think of the dark nights and excellent seeing ..

Irradiating the planet would probably solve a lot of the climate change issues, too

If you want a super (charged) nova  of the 4 wheeled variety, I think this tops the rally car.

I witness something close to a supernova everytime I mention spending more money on equipment!
