Ursa major is the closest large constallation to the north star and is approx its own length away from the north star. I'd be very worried if ursa major ever vanished below the horizon. It would mean the earth had tilted onto its side lol * +

Obviously the supernova was brightest at the moment it went bang and as it expands rapidly it cools and dims. If ya think about it light from our sun takes 8 mins to reach us. If it went supernova its light would hit us mere seconds before the exploding star matter hit us and our solar system would be entirely wiped out in a matter of days, the light diminishing all the while * +
