This is VERY dim, and dimmer than the dimmest star you can see in the darkest sky by as much as the difference between that dimmest start and a very bright star.

You need a Large telescope and exceptional star charts to see this.

Real-time astronomy makes me goofy - too many little twinkling lights up there. I can find the Big Dipper - if I grabbed my Bushnells, where would the supernova be in relation to it?

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

It must be bad news to anyone who lives on planets nearby.

Every time a supernova occurs, another civilization was destroyed by the Cassadian Empire.

It's a StarBuster Bomb.
