[Utah-astronomy] Not for the Record Books?

Take a gander at my blog re. the supernova announced recently, which a press release says was "for the record books" and was as powerful as 9,000 ordinary supernovas. Tom Matheson, astronomer who grew up in the Utah governor's mansion, thinks it probably was like other supernovas. http://deseretnews.com/blogs/1,5322,10000034,00.html?bD=20090222 -- Joe
