bomberbaz Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 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.

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.

Paul M Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 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 .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
