Not long after the supernova of 1604, the telescope was invented. But astronomers would have to wait nearly FOUR CENTURIES to witness the next supernova that was visible to the naked eye. It was 1987, and a blue supergiant in the Large Magellanic Cloud was replaced in the night sky with a violent explosion. And nearly four decades on, astronomers are still unpacking what happened.

I was shocked to learn neutrinos can beat light to a destination. 😳
Thanks!
The one part, the name, you couldn't look up how it's pronounced? Come on us PoC
May be biased but damn is she the best 'science communicator' of recent sci show fame. Obviously she's gorgeous but beyond that, her cadence and body language really nails it
“That astronomers likened to a pearl necklace”
Absolute freaks
On topic of Title. I am pretty sure the Japanese will tell you a different story.
Knock off the gesticulations it VERY distracting.
I got to see it, being in the Australian outback at night with a fellow tourist that happened to know which direction to look. It was amazing to just need my naked eye, and heady to know at the time it'd been the first like that in 400 years….I think the biggest milestone I ever witnessed…except, oh yeah, the millennium (every 1000 years) and man landing on the moon (arguably every 4.6 billion years for a planet's first like that). 😉
I dunno, why does it feel like all the hand gestures don't match the voice. Voice is all soothing and gentle and the hands are all chaotic… Anyway…
1:44 OK so Sci Show, one of the few channels I know will pay attention to detail, has stopped doing that. It is the Magellanic Cloud, as in Magellan.
By burst of neutrinos they mean 25 neutrinos were detected in 13 seconds.
WOW!
Really distracting presentation and verbal tics, your know, like!
Speech is too rushed. Kinda don't believe there slightest bit interested in space.
Thank youuuu for sharing your work with the world 💕 it’s so inspiring and exciting to hear about the journey 💕 thank youuuu and thank youuuu
I like this episode.
Supernovas are great but what I want to know is – when will you finish knitting that jumper?
"Didn't used to be there"
Southern girl? 👍
Why does a "dwarf" galaxy count as being a galaxy, but Pluto, a "dwarf" planet, doesn't count as a planet?
Super novas are so cool
