By focusing on the Orion Nebula almost continuously for 13 days, a team of
scientists used Chandra to obtain the deepest X-ray observations ever taken of
any star cluster.
The Orion Nebula provides an unparalleled view of 1,400 young stars, 30 of
which are prototypes of the early sun. A supernova discovery
is both scientifically important as well as fascinating," said David Bishop,
webmaster of the International Supernovae Network, which is used by both
amateur and professional astronomers alike. Slooh's location and ease of operation makes it
ideal for this task.
