Did a search and never saw anything on it...


An exploding star in a galaxy far from Earth should be visible from Britain soon after twilight this evening. Amateur astronomers will be able to observe the flicker of light from its violent death throes through a good pair of binoculars or a telescope, clear skies permitting.

Let's hope it's clear tonight :)

for the next few evenings apparently, but only tonight with a good pair of binoculars. It is to the east of the 'handle' of the plough constellation (Ursa major or big bear). After tonight, you can still see it but only with a telescope.
