from another astronomy/gen science/hooraywhatever book i'm reading -- this guy, robert evans, lives in australia and is almost a mastermind when it comes to detecting supernovae.


"There's something satisfying, I think," Evans said, "about the idea of light traveling for millions of years through space and just at the right moment as it reaches Earth someone looks at the right bit of sky and see it.

"It just seems right that an event of that magnitude should be witnessed."
