Lets see how good their fortune telling is, I've got 15 min's to wait..

One thing I have learnt the hard way is if you find your blood pumping hard with excitement because of astronomy news take some time to check everything...I got caught with a Skywatcher April fools joke wherein they announced their new eight inch triplet refractor to be available at $10,000.

In fact dont believe anything until you have checked it over and over as , and this may come as a shock but some folk tell fibs on the net...

Hope you are well.

How could anyone predict a Supernova with that kind of accuracy though?

Perhaps you forgot to say “Betelgeuse” three times?
