I'm picturing light sabers and a massive showdown between the dark forces and this rebellious one. - Phantom76, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Wow! a post on supernova by supernova!
- theone3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12"A rebellious supernova in a youthful galaxy is breaking all the cosmological rules"
Pfft. Teenagers. - championchap, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3hahaha, so its the supernovas fault?
and not our own?
niiiice, pass the buck - DeathScytheHell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The rebel forces are no match for the Sith.
- DeathScytheHell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Damn kids are their hooligans! Just shake your fists at them and they'll listen.

Just once I'd like to visit 300 years from now and find out all the things we're bone-stupid about. - DeathScytheHell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"zoom zoom zoom you make my heart go boom boom boom my supernova girl".....how extremely homoerotic!
- tektalk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1c'mon and lets' fight the Powa!
and defy the scientists who think whats limited is possible! - StevenCrum, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It is probably impossible to see this without infrared and other pictures beside visible light, but the true science situation involved is not a supernova or dark energy, and is instead the background object being a two way energy collision and the front object being the resulting new galaxy that had its material blasted out to create it.
A whole lot of Hubble and other pictures show the galaxy-making process described. But, it isn't the supernova and dark energy at all. - spidoman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3I'll have to find the follow up article:
"Rebellious Supernova gets owned by Dark Energy, starts to listen to emo music" - argusbargus, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2I thought this was about another RIAA lawsuit against a P2P server ;-)
- lobotomir, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1While the brightness of supernovae is important in measuring distances on a universal scale, connecting that (in TFA) to dark energy in such a sensationalist manner should keep you from investing much trust in the source site.
Hell, the author disproves his own headline: "the authors of the study are confident that the discovery of a rebellious supernova does not undermine the need for dark energy." That's like public masturbation, or something. - gogogadgetearl, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1"Champagne Supernova" - seriously?
Thank-you Oasis, for shaping the future of astronomy. - light50, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1...the dashed hopes of a trip to Toshi Station to pick up those power converters...

"Supernova explosions were throught to occur when the mass of the star approaches 1.4 times the mass of our Sun, otherwise known as the Chandrasekhar limit"
Talking of weight loss, (as we wasn't) I'd better loose some before I reach the Chandrasekhar limit
He he titter giggle
Does the Dark Matter? - laugh. . . .
Sombody stop me!
SLAP!
Ouch! - OK I'm going - spidoman, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1delete
- bat-21, on 10/12/2007, -13/+3Cool but it's a shame this supernova was discovered by British astronomers. Now I've got that damned Oasis song stuck in my head.
