(Phys.org)A trio of German researches has uncovered evidence of the Arabic scholar Ibn Sina's sighting of supernova 1006 (SN 1006). The modern evidence will sit alongside that of others around that globe that reported details of what has been described as the brightest stellar event ever recorded by human beings. In their paper uploaded to the preprint server arXiv,Ralph Neuhaeuser, Carl Ehrig-Eggert and Paul Kunitzsch describe the text under study, or their translation of it and the relevance of the information recorded by the ancient skygazer.
