Especially the part about clear skies! -- Barry Sent from my MS Windows PC ============================ -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WSFA] [obexchange] Supernova visible from earth -- this week only Date: Sat, 03 Sep 2011 18:55:06 -0400 From: Louis Wilen <louis.wilen at verizon.net> To: <obexchange at yahoogroups.com> This is a once every 10 to 40 years event. http://earthsky.org/space/how-to-see-a-nearby-supernova-this-weekend http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/brightest-supernova-in-decades-serves-up-cosmic-clues-for-astronomers/2011/08/31/gIQA88CqwJ_story.html Look toward the Big Dipper. It will get brighter each night until it reaches its peak on around September 9th. You will need binoculars or a small telescope (3" reflector or larger) to see it (and the sky will need to be clear).
