A Supernova at less than a 1000 lightyears would definitely qualify as an extinction level event. Lucky ones on one side of the planet burnt to a crisp, for the other side slow death. Fortunately it's highly improbable, sure hope our luck holds out. This is great science though, nothing like observable phenomenon to give credibility to a mathematical model.

And thanks to #18 Boru for the stand-in! #17, Peter iNova, distance to G1.9+0.3 has not yet been accurately determined, according to the info I've received. "Based on its small size, it was thought to have resulted from a supernova that exploded about 400 to 1000 years ago." If it's 26,000 ly. distant, then the age data doesn't make sense. It would have exploded at least 26,000 years ago. The latest Chandra podcasts are here.

The boom was seen about 1868-ish. The next one will be called My Nova. I got the date wrong, though… The boom was seen about 1868-ish.

Minus the light speed photon travel time of 26,000 years. Would have been brand new in about 1680. It's still expanding at about 0.05 C. There's a much bigger one out there that is far closer, but we won't see it for a while because the light hasn't reached here, yet. I like things that are far closer. 140 year old supernova remnant in the Milky Way. Minus the light speed photon travel time of 26,000 years. Would have been brand new in about 1680.
