Hi All,

Perhaps not quite as exciting as NASA's "drum-roll" had us anticipating, but very interesting all the same.

So it's this, the discovery of the most recent known supernova? No bug-eyed aliens?

Edit: damn, I'm sure the previous few messages didn't come up first time I looked.

I wonder what was used to capture it? Who did the good deed? Can I have one, please?

Have to agree with Les on this one, probably not worth all the fanfare but it is still fascinating to read about.

Still it was good fun to ponder and speculate for a few days

Cheers

On the NASA web site only one positive comment out of six posts, not very many happy people out there waiting for not very spectacular news.

Big deal, when are they going to mars?

NASA's going to Mars!! - Great news!

Hope they take their publicity department and that it's a one way ticket.
