DISCOVERY OF MOST RECENT SUPERNOVA IN OUR GALAXY

Scientists have used NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and NRAO’s Very Large Array to discover the most recent supernova explosion in our Galaxy, as measured in Earth’s time frame.

Not Planet X, Blackhold, Dyson Sphere but a Supernova Remnant known as G1.9+0.3 X-Ray shell of this object detected by Chandra X-Ray Telescope, which occurred around 1890-1900 but was not observed at this time due to it’s proximity to galactic centre, interstellar gases. Located near the galactic centre this discovery was made by comparing X-ray images from 1985 and the present, showing expansion in the intervening period. 1604AD, 1572AD are the most recent written records of supernova phenomenon as they occured, however this one is much more recent. There may be younger supernovae elsewhere in our galaxy, that athough when unseen will be detected as they happen or ones which happened recently. The remnant is the smallest, highest expansion speed and is getting brighter in the radio wavelengths of the spectrum.

Today marks the end of the format war, and HD DVD is not on the winning side. Toshiba has announced today that it is ending HD DVD development, marketing and manufacture, however it will still support HD DVD players purchased. This statement paves the way for just one HD standard : Blu-Ray, thus ending the format war that would have continued for some time. However this should be good news in the long term and may mean the development of a better Blu-Ray standard which is fixed so there may be hope. For current HD DVD owners there is the consolation that the movies and tv shows available on the format will probably go down in price before being discontinued so bargains galore. As a Xbox 360 HD DVD onwer this is not too much of a problem as the 5-free films offer was the reason for the purchase so the cost of the movies outweighed the cost of the player so it did not matter which format they were anyway. Hopefully Microsoft will announce some sort of Blu-Ray support for Xbox 360.

We’ll let you know if Microsoft goes Blu-Ray right here!
