Talk:SN 1572

A picture of the actual nebula would be a welcome addition. Captmondo 13:17, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Tycho's Nova/Supernova
There seems to be a certain amount of inconsistency, both within Wikipedia and with external sources, as to whether this supernova should be colloquially known as Tycho's Nova or Tycho's Supernova. At the least the current opening sentence is a little confusing in saying "Tycho's Nova was a supernova". -- Solipsist 22:11, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] 1572 or 1592?
The article title is "SN 1572" but the body text begins by calling it "SN 1592" -- which alone is confusing enough, but this is also the year it gives to Wolfgang Schuler's observation, and says that he was "probably" the first to see it (can someone cite a source on that?), even though that's 20 years AFTER Tycho Brahe's observation. What's going on here? -- Emperne
- It seems all of those 92's should just be 72's and that clears everything up. [1] I wonder how that would happen, or how it would remain that way while being showcased on the front page. -VJ 18:11, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
the technical stuff needs rewriting in view of paper in science this week (The Cassiopeia A Supernova Was of Type IIb
