Supernova!

“I once saw a champaign supernova in thesky”

“Cool, Bit. Would love to see that...”

“If it goes as big as they say, you probably will. Chinese astronomers recorded that the supernova which we now know created the Crab Nebula was visible during the day...”

“Despite being 10,000 light-years away from Earth,...

This massive distance means that the events being observed occurred about 10,000 years ago.

I was told a long time ago that the only way to see back in time was to look at the stars, and that some of them may not even exist yet we are still seeing the light that was emitted millions of years ago.”

“Good gawd, we may be all that's left of the universe but not know it yet.”

“Cool deal....
