explosions and green fuzzies

Nick recently put out a query on the RASC TC forum. He wanted to know good sources for supernovae and comets.

He indicated he preferred a simple website. He said he found "some resource websites are not very intuitive or user-friendly."

Bryon suggested aerith.net for comets, specifically the Weekly Information page.

Eric said "the best site for... supernovae is not far away, just over Lake Ontario in Rochester, NY." I wondered what Nick might think of this as I find Latest Supernovae page challenging to decipher.

There was no mention of Comet Chasing page at Skyhound...

I reminded Nick that his SkyTools Starter Edition software should help.

He thanked us.
