GetSupernovae is a small tool that helps amateur astronomers fetch the most recent supernovae and check whether they are visible from a given observing site.

Features

  • Fetches the latest reported supernovae.
  • Computes local visibility (rise/set, altitude) for a given site.
  • Outputs results in a machine- and human-friendly format.

Contributing & Reporting

Feel free to report bugs or suggest features on the GitHub repo. See the repo for contribution guidelines and the license.

Clear skies!!

It was originally named the Andromeda Nebula and is cataloged as Messier 31, M31, and NGC 224.
Andromeda has a diameter of about 46.56 kiloparsecs (152,000 light-years) and is approximately 765 kpc (2.5 million light-years) from Earth.
The galaxy’s name stems from the area of Earth’s sky in which it appears, the constellation of Andromeda, which itself is named after the princess who was the wife of Perseus in Greek mythology.
