com), a leading provider of revolutionary Web-based
information services that increase productivity for millions of
engineers, scientists, students, and librarians worldwide announced
today the availability of an innovative new program to helps
businesses, academic institutions , and government agencies make the
transition to a virtual library. The event appears to
be a precursor to a supernova, which is expected to reach peak brightness in
one week.
Scores of satellites and ground-based telescopes are now trained on the
sight, watching and waiting. Amateur astronomers in the northern hemisphere
with a good telescope in dark skies can also view it.

The explosion, called GRB 060218 after the date it was discovered,
originated in a star -forming galaxy about 440 million light-years away toward
the constellation Aries.
Because the burst was so long, Swift was able to observe the bulk of the
explosion with all three of its instruments: the Burst Alert Telescope, which
detected the burst; and the X-ray Telescope and Ultraviolet /Optical Telescope,
which provide high-resolution imagery and spectra across a broad range of
wavelengths .

This implies a
scenario in which a very massive star has collapsed into a black hole and
subsequently exploded; the debris from the explosion is trapping optical light
inside and as the dust settles, more and more light will break free.

"We expected to see the typical featureless spectrum of a gamma-ray burst
afterglow, but instead we found a mixture between this and the more complex
spectrum of a supernova similar to those generally observed weeks after the
gamma-ray burst," said Nicola Masetti of INAF's Institute for Space
Astrophysics and Cosmic Physics (IASF) in Bologna.
