| Feb 27, 2015 at 18:23 | comment | added | Jim2B | Another random bit: astronomers have noticed clustering of novas in the sky (see skyandtelescope.com/astronomy-news/observing-news/…). Initially the astronomers thought the novas were advancing towards Earth. Several SF stories have cashed in on the topic proposing various SF reasons for that observation. Later observations indicated a more random distribution of novas - blowing those stories out of the water. | |
