Type Ia supernovae and the ESSENCE supernova survey
... It is generally believed that a Type Ia SN is a carbon-oxygen white dwarf that acquires mass from a nearby donor star. When the mass of the WD exceeds 1.4 Msun the WD completely obliterates itself. The spectra of Type Ia supernovae are characterized by having no hydrogen emisssion. The prime signat ...

COORDINATES, TIME, AND THE SKY John Thorstensen

This is not necessarily the case for an object in the solar system; the moon, for instance, is only 60 earth radii away, so its direction can vary by more than a degree as ...
