Snapshot Supernova, a collaboration between Skymapper, Zooniverse and BBC Stargazing Live, is a recent citizen scientists project where Zooites and BBC viewers were asked to scan for supernova candidates in SkyMapper data and the candidates were then followed up using the NTT as part of the PESSTO survey. ... Thanks to the amazing efforts of our volunteers, we managed to discover four confirmed supernovae within the first three days and more discoveries are still being made. ...

... Aurora from Space . ... Magnetic Storms . ... The "ring of fire" seen by satellite cameras around the polar caps (picture below) is probably created by electrons leaking from the tail's plasma sheet, whose magnetic field lines form a somewhat imperfect trap. ... One possible explanation involves the close association between auroral arcs and electric currents which flow along field lines between the ionosphere and distant space ( Birkeland currents ). ... Why no aurora at the magnetic poles? ...

... The remnant of the brightest historical supernova exploded in AD1006, now provides us with the first conclusive evidence for a lineless, power-low component of X-ray emission from a shell supernova remnant, and thus represents the nonthermal X-rays from shell SNRs. This implies that electrons emitting synchrotron radiation at these X-ray energies must have energies of order 100 TeV, among the highest ever observed or directly inferred in any context, astrophysical or otherwise. ...
