Gazoontite. I know. But it's actually the super cryptic name of a supernova which continues to brighten in the night sky. Easily visible to backyard astronomers this weekend or so I'm told. I haven't ventured out with my binoculars yet. Peak viewing is sometime around Sept. 9th.
Here's a video from Berkeley Lab on how to spot PTF11kly. And here's the cheesy tune I've been humming all weekend!
