Hello~! Newbie here~!
Anyhow, the past few nights, I've been noticing an unusually bright star (in a southern california sky), that begins its after-sunset journey from West to North West and then finally sets around 9 or 10pm. I stargaze quite a bit each evening(the Moon, Orion, and Venus & Mars are personal faves~!), and this particular star has absolutely perplexed me due to its size, insane twinkle and activity. Is this the beginning of a supernova? (atleast is it JUST reaching us after 1000 years and finally dying to our eye? Its SO bright it looks like an incoming plane, but I KNOW its not!
Any ideas or info would happily fulfill my curiosity! (^ - ^)
Tanx Tanx~!
