Out of interest, do astronomers know which stars are likely to go supernova in the immediate future?
The cool thing about this one, beside it being so close (for certain values of close), is that it was caught relatively early in the process. Normally we don't spot them until they're already at or near peak brightness, so we don't have a lot of good data on the earliest stages of supernovae.
