New Supernova!
Hey, There is a new Type IA supernova nearby, and it is less than a week old!
People have already been able to take pictures through a 20" telescope.
From the linked blog:
All in all, this is pretty much a big deal. The galaxy is close, pretty, a bit odd, and is hosting the nearest Type Ia supernova seen in decades which was caught when it was less than a day old.
