NASA News and hi-res images. Sorta makes a killer astroid seem insignificant...

Keep resisting folks. [Evil Laugh]

Really though, this is awesome. My sister and I have often discussed what it would be like if one of the big, closer stars like Betelgeuse, went nova. By the time we saw it, the light from the explosion would have been traveling for millions of years. It's mind-boggling to think about...I love it!
