The title text SNEWS is a reference to SuperNova_Early_Warning_System. 2a09:bac2:3656:ebe::178:123 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~) 21:58, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

Is this my mediocre non-native English, or should the title text read "setting off fireworks indoors"? (Trivia?) --2001:A62:5F7:FB01:538E:3F07:C9F0:F0C0 23:06, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, 'setting of fireworks indoors, ...' would mean setting them up (i.e., placing them) and not 'setting off', lighting or detonating the fireworks. Sameldacamel34 (talk) 23:22, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

Sorry, it somehow escaped me when editing the explanation that neutrinos have mass!! (even though we've known about this for decades). Does this mean that if the supernova is far away enough, the photons will arrive before the neutrinos? Or is that threshold too far to matter? Sameldacamel34 (talk) 01:21, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
