I'd like to know that too! Has anyone written a paper on the consequences of an sn on nearby star systems? Sent from my iPhone

Great shot of the Patrick2 SN -- would hate to be anywhere near that star. Anyone know what the estimated kill radius is for a SN?

CalSky is predicting ISS will transit the Sun Wednesday afternoon.
Here are the data for SPOC. Should be good to within a couple of seconds for northern SLC.
Crosses the disk of Sun. Transit duration=0.51s Angular diameter=65.6" size=109.0m x 73.0m x 27.5m Satellite at Azimuth=158.9° SSE Altitude= 71.8° Distance=421.2 km In a clock-face concept, the satellite will seem to move toward 9:33 Angular Velocity=60.0'/s
For those who have not seen an ISS transit before note the "Transit duration=0.51s" indicating ISS will only take about half a second to cross the Sun.
I've posted CalSky's map of the centerline. One must be within a couple of kilometers of the centerline to see any part of the transit. Best to be right on the centerline.

In other news, here's an image I got of "my" supernova a few minutes ago. The SN is the tiny dot just above the core of the galaxy.
