A small blacksmith anvil can be as long as a few inches and serves as an ideal work surface for tinsmithing, working with brass, and creating jewelry pieces. Collectors, too, might have an interest in a vintage blacksmith anvil to use as a display in a shop or even as a working tool. Any and all options are available through the wide range of blacksmith anvil inventories on eBay so you can be sure to find a classic piece of forging history for your workshop.
In 1604 there was a supernova that is commonly called Kepler's Supernova. That is the last one that was definitely observed (there may have been others since then that were obscured by dust in our own galaxy). The telescope was first used by Galileo in 1609 to observe the heavens (he didn't invent the telescope, however) and we haven't observed a supernova in our galaxy since before then!
Here are ten facts about supernovae that you may have not known. Somewhere in the cosmos, a star is reaching the end of its life. Maybe itâs a massive star, collapsing under its own gravity.upernovae occur in our galaxy at a rate of about one or two per century. Yet we havenât seen a supernova in the Milky Way in around 400 years. The most recent nearby supernova was observed in 1987, and it wasnât even in our galaxy. It was in a nearby satellite galaxy called the Large Magellanic Cloud.
