N is for . . .

Image source: Super Star

Nova.

 Is it:

 (a) a star showing a sudden large increase in brightness and then slowly returning to its original state over a few months

 (b) An award-winning PBS show on science

 (c) Latin word, feminine of "novus", meaning new

 (d) all of the above

 If you picked (d), you are correct! Now celebrate by rockin' out to Liz Phair's Supernova (which is star that suddenly increases greatly in brightness because of a catastrophic explosion that ejects most of its mass. Ouch!)





What? You were hoping for Oasis's Champagne Supernova instead? Dude! Say it ain't so!

    Haha! I was thinking of Oasis's song! Now I want to watch more public television... And I already watch too much of it!

    (e) A car made by Vauxhall Motors from August 1986 until April 1993. Nice song by the way!

    A bit of A-Z nonsense!

    Nova was one of the best programs of all time on television. I love stuff like that!

    Thanks for the musical wake up this morning! Oh and the bright flash of light. That helped get my eyes open, too.

    All of the above! I remember Nova being on when I was a kid but I never watched it. I wasn't all that fascinated with space and such back then.

    I was thinking it was D. I like watching Nova, it does a good job at capturing my interest in whatever subject matter they are discussing.

    I win, but only because when I don't know the answer they taught me in school to go with all of the above, LOL. Love the song.

    I'm glad you gave Liz the nod here, but I've gotta hand it to Oasis...every time I hear one of their songs, I sing along...!
