Re: APOD: The Case of the Missing Supernova... (2012 Jan 12)
This discussion beggs the question: Could a companion star be reduced in mass to a point where fission is no longer possible? If so, would we see anything different than we are looking at here?

It would be awesome to see a pair of energy beams eminating from the polar region. However, this small amount of matter should produce little more than a galactic belch.Sam wrote:What kind of pictures can we expect to see? Will the action show up in radio and infrared?

Something about this image gave me a "Galactic Perspective". We think of galaxies as ponderously slow, taking millions of years to complete a revolution. However, from a galaxies perspective it must feel like it is spinning like a top. Thank you APOD.
