All,
I recieved this from one of my other astro groups. Thought I'd pass it on.
Maybe add this to the observing list.
I received the following announcement about a supernova in M74 and wanted to
pass it along. M74 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces, and can
be
viewed from a dark sky site in the early evening through the month of
February.
