SN 1006

&gt; While SN 1006 did not appear to have such significant effects, a signal of its eruption can be found in nitrate deposits in Antarctic ice.<p>Not heard about this, are there any other signs from supernova we have detected on Earth?

My first thought was &quot;I wonder what it looks like&quot;. It looks like this: <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/chandra/multimedia/tapestry.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nasa.gov&#x2F;mission_pages&#x2F;chandra&#x2F;multimedia&#x2F;tapestr...</a>

The article mentions that the event was possibly recorded in the form of petroglyphs[1]. I think that&#x27;s a fascinating idea, and it reminded me of Dr. Anthony Peratt&#x27;s[2] research on the recording of prehistoric auroral events, also in the form of petroglyphs[3].<p>[1] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SN_1006#cite_note-napetro-5" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;SN_1006#cite_note-napetro-5</a><p>[2] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Peratt" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Anthony_Peratt</a><p>[3] <a href="http://plasmauniverse.info/downloadsCosmo/PerattTPSv31-2003clr.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;plasmauniverse.info&#x2F;downloadsCosmo&#x2F;PerattTPSv31-2003c...</a>

IIRC, Carl Sagan&#x27;s Cosmos has a scene of this event from the monks&#x27; perspective.

&gt; The Chinese astrologer Zhou Keming<p>In the midst of all this wonderful astrology I couldn&#x27;t help but laugh. Didn&#x27;t know that Keming was an actual name, brilliant.
