Star Goes Nova in Our Galaxy and No One Noticed
This could wipe you out rather quickly by the way if it were the super variety!
Anyway, I bet most people just passed off this extra light from the star as a nearby planet. That is what I would have done. http://www.space.com/scienceastronom...tar-found.html -S

Cool stuff. I wish I had time to bring out the old telescope and admire it.

You put a telescope out the window around here and you will have the cops kicking in your door and arresting you.

It's been cloudy and rainy here all week. No chance of me seeing it anytime soon. I have a nice little telescope. I'll have to look up where the Puppis constellation is.
*Correction* I will never see it directly. It's visible from the southern hemisphere only. All the cool space stuff happens in the southern hemisphere. I've rarely seen anything super exciting here in the north.

Isn't there a 'star registry' where you can actually have one names after you if you send em some money? But that would be my luck too, I would do that and "POOF" supernova time.

 I like NOVA to. But when I see shows like "oregon art beat", I can't believe my tax dollars are going to this.
