Well, look at this. I was complaining in chat last night with Bob about the flashing lights in the sky, and exactly where I said it was..
New nova in Centaurus might be visible to the unaided eye

The coordinates of the nova in Centaurus are RA = 14 37 21.77 Dec = -58 47 40.0. This location on the sky is quite close to the famous star Alpha Centauri, closest star system to our sun at 4.3 light-years. This does not mean, of course, that the nova is connected to Alpha Centauri in any way, or that it’s close to our neighborhood of space. We don’t yet know how far away it lies. It just means the nova is in the same direction of sky as Alpha Centauri.
