Supernova 2011b Gradually Fading

An anonymous reader writes "The recent stellar explosion known as 'supernova 2011b' is gradually fading after outshining its host galaxy for over a month. The explosion first flared up in early January, and peaked at magnitude 12.9, putting it within the reach of many amateur telescopes. The host galaxy, NGC 2655, lies 64 million light years away, meaning that the star exploded while the dinosaurs still roamed the planet. My own sketches are available at gkastro.tk/."

A supernova explodes. Slashdot reports 64 million years later.

Don't worry, Slashdot will report it again tomorrow.

We will know the real distance when the bang gets here, as long as someone remembered to count when they saw the bang.

That's an old sketch. Here it is today.
