... He made observations of a supernova (literally: nova= "new star") in 1572 (we now know that a supernova is an exploding star, not a new star). ... Brahe's meticulous observations showed that the supernova did not change positions with respect to the other stars (no parallax). ... This was early evidence against the immutable nature of the heavens, although Brahe did not interpret the absence of parallax for stars correctly, as we discuss below. Brahe made careful observations of a comet in 1577. ...

... Following the full moon on Monday, March 24, I was able to make use of a few brief periods totalling about an hour and a half before the Easter weekend to make some 160 galaxy observations at home in Coonabarabran using the 0.41m telescope. ... Because of being on holidays my resources for comparison purpouses were rather limited, and so I had to rely upon amateur contacts in Queensland to verify my memory of this galaxy, and also to obtain visual confirmation of the supernova. ...

... Consequently, it is inappropriate to expand and in ordinary spherical harmonics. The proper expansion expresses both and simultaneously in terms of a particular order of generalized spherical harmonics. ... Generalized spherical harmonics start at , and for each , . ... Generalized spherical harmonics obey a sum rule analogous to a familiar one for ordinary spherical harmonics, but it includes an explicit phase factor which depends on the orientation of the two lines of sight. ...
