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!

    A bit of A-Z nonsense!

  9. 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.

  13. 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 will do everything in my power to visit commenter's blogs unless I've been abducted by aliens or my children get sick. (If my children get abducted by aliens, I will be very busy, of course, catching up on my sleep.)

Note: During the A to Z challenge, I may not be able to return all comments in a timely fashion, but I will do my best.
