In the year AD 1006 a supernova was seen right here on the earth's night sky many astrologers and natural philosophers of that time described the natural wonder but you as usual there is always a bit of superstition thrown in. If any of the stars we see in our night sky goes supernova it will lit up our sky in colourful wonder.. NASA have spotted a lot of supernova remnants of many supernovas scattered through out the cosmos but this first hand witness of the explosion itself is a wonderful development. Man and other living things on this planet are predominantly made of Hydrogen, Carbon, nitrogen and oxygen and these are from the core of stars. through supernovas these elements are being scattered through the universe making it possible for planets like earth to exist and carbon based living organisms like us to exist. Supernovas reminds us out of violence comes something beautiful, out of star death came life!!! that is profound!!! Nice one brother!!! 1 Like |

I'm disappointed! I Thought I would see real video, only to see animation. when will the people realise that these Nasa Guys Are The Greatest Liars? the sooner they do the better. |

Dawdy:You see arguing from Ignorance is one of the worst way to present an argument. For the fact you were expecting a real video shows you are ignorant of how the observation was made. Kepler space telescope made the observation and kepler is not a mirror based telescope rather uses a photometer to measure the brightness of stars in a fixed field of space. It can detect the slightest dim of a star if an object passes in front of it and the reading will suggest if it is a planet, how large, its orbital period and size. it's detection was the intense sudden increase in a particular stars luminosity and also detected the shock wave that can only mean a star has gone supernova (exploded). the video is a visual representation of an accurate reading.. The kepler telescope cannot even take pictures talk more of make a video, even the hubble telescope which is a mirror based telescope is not designed to make videos but rather take pictures. Stop using your ignorance to make a case for an argumentative premise, it's totally uncool!!! 4 Likes 1 Share |

This is just a hoax... I don't think that even the smartest space camera with higher resolution can record this type of scenario. |

The future is now in the space for those that will believe and understand. God is awesome |

jmichlins:Am sure belief has little or absolutely nothing to do with the future. As you can see, its more about open-mindedness guided by sound logic and research into the workings of the universe. |
