This wouldn't be happening if we had consulted with the UN.

What tha article isn't real clear on is that these stars are in other galaxies.

See, Kerry was right. Bush should have signed the Kyoto treaty and we could have avoided all these super novae, hurricanes, earth quakes, volcanoes, terrorists, car accidents, diaper rash and paper cuts.
Kerry’s slogan “Everything is Bush’s fault but I could do it better.”

Will they be visible?I'd like to know, too! The article doesn't indicate if they are intra-galactic (in our galaxy) or extra-galactic.

They must have more and bigger SUV's in those other Galaxies.

I expect that the star Betelgeuse in the constellation Orion will erupt into a spectacular supernova sometime soon (soon in galactic terms which could be anytime between now and 10000 years from now). If it did it would be 100 times the brightness of the full moon.

Thanks for the ping,

The first two blasts, called X-ray flashes, occurred on September 12 and 16. These were followed by a more powerful burst on September 24. OK, well that explains how this showed up on my office door:
Now, does anyone know if Elmers Glue can be used to keep my teeth from falling out?

Are the X-rays which the article discusses produced in supernova precursor events? I don't see how X-rays could propagate faster than visible light.

I don't see how X-rays could propagate faster than visible light.They cannot. In fact, X-rays are EM just at a higher frequency than visible EM (light).

We need the Super Twins to activate into form of bucket and water to take this dreaded supernova on.
