Nova Sagittari 2015

Post by cartman » Mon Mar 23, 2015 1:26 pm

New star within our galaxy discovered by a prolific NSW amateur astronomer about a week ago.

Supernova (in other galaxies) are common
Nova (in our galaxy) are not as common .... especially naked eye ... the last naked eye one was in 2013.
Nova Sagattari is still brightening
