A naked-eye visible supernova in our lifetimes would be so rad. There were well-recorded visible supernovas in 1006, 1054, 1572, and 1604. Then none since!
I got to excited and told more people then I should have and now I gotta walk back the yeah it'll be cool as fuck but it might not happen factor god damn
It's still cool but like i got to excited by space again
Last time I did was worth it took my roomies on a long walk to watch the eclipse of mercury(? It was years ago but I'll be dead before it happens again) through a solar telescope and it's still one of the coolest things I've seen ever
Man this feels even worse then Haleys comet disintegrating after its last 1 or 2 passes.
Fuckin' what
2061 is all I've got to look forward to
They don't expect Halley's Comet to fall apart for another 40+ appearances, or well over 3,500 years from now.
The outgassing rates inferred from the 1910 apparition and the brightness decay over the previous two millenia are compatible with the minimum nuclear brightness currently observed if the comet nucleus is small, 1.8–2.7 km radius with an albedo of 0.1–0.2. Outgassing is faster than from a bare nucleus of dirty H2O-ice, which is attributed either to a hot microdust coma or to an organic polymer composition. Halley's comet will decay away within another 45–65 apparitions.

Booooo, blow the fuck up, I want to read a book by the light of your death throes so future generations can read about it in historical newspaper clippings.

My girlfriend got me a telescope for Christmas and now I finally have a reason to break it out that isn't "Spy on the local squirrels as they conduct yet another turf war across the street"

I don't give a damn because I'm stone dead already
