Wow Mozzie, that's the among the best news on this thread - I wonder what he is thinking while seeing star on the screen that has obliterated itself?
I doubt it will get brighter, one theory is if this is the same object it may belong to a family of supernova known as "fast decliners" on the other hand your son sounds like a fast learner! Why not he has a great coach!
Keep it up Mozzie, we need more of him (and hers) after hearing on a Brisbane FM radio station last night that 78 percent of respondents believe the Moon landings to be a hoax. So sad that ignorance can replace incredible achievement.
