E S O -V LT Crab nebula with pulsar (constellation Orion) Remnant of a supernova observed in the year 1054
A New Star, as bright and as red as Mars, was discovered on October 9 1604, close to the position where another astrologically significant event was taking place, the conjunction of Mars and Jupiter. The New Star created a stir throughout Europe. At Padua the new star was observed by Galileo, while in Prague Kepler made careful observations and the Supernova now carries his name. Galileo gave 3 public lectures that were attended by a large audience in which he demonstrated that the new star was much further than the moon. This had important astronomical consequences since it showed that change occurrs in the sky, contrary to the theory of Aristotle and his followers.
