type Ia supernovae are really neat and kind of weird
like..... every type Ia ever has /exactly/ the same brightness, there's exactly the same amount of energy involved in it, every type Ia is identical to every other because they happen at almost exactly the Chandrasekhar limit
and that's weird and neat
@Felthry they're so cool and this is a bizarre coincidence because I first read about them about an hour ago
@VoxSomniator Obviously both of us are under mind control and the alien overlords decided we should both be interested in Space Stuff today :v
@Felthry I guess it's not too bizarre I'm interested in Space Stuff every day
@VoxSomniator me too!
technically it's like... 3% above the Chandrasekhar limit because Reasons but it's a very precise number anyway
