I call nasa , no help there. It was crazy. I was looking South to fl. I live in H.H.I s.c. on the coast. It was a large white ball. If you held a post card in front of you it was that big in the sky. then it turn black. unreal. IT WAS DEEP IN SPACE!!!!!!!!! I saw a supernova by eye on monday 9;00 p.m feb. 11, 2008.

Saturn is due west near Regulus (Leo), Venus
would be lower, and slightly north of West
near Gemini (Castor and Pollux would be nearby)

Under and right of Jupiter is Antares (the only other
really bright object near Jupiter then)

It was the 10th of July. It looked like it was a bit blue in colour, it was faint, just next to jupiter. At first I thought it was some kind of reflection, but soon I realise that the blue light did not fade away,...it was just there....however I couldn't see it when I got home....

I believe it was near jupiter in the sky.. under and to the right I think?? could be wrong.. i found it by looking right as it gets dark and it extremely visible... it and jupiter were the only 2 stars visible to me many times. I'll figure out what direction and where it's located sometime.

And where?... I do not know of any visible super-novae currently... but what it is will need to be figured out of when and where to the north you are seeing (north-east/north-west) At what time?
