2 Comments TIL that the first asteroid ever discovered, Ceres, was “lost” by astronomers and found again due to the mathematical skill of a 24-year-old Carl Friedrich Gauss.

4 Comments TIL that Supernova 1987a was discovered in 1987 and blazed with the brightness of over 100million suns over the course of a few months.
