Stars and stripes in space

Could have used green and purple, great choice of color. Thanks for the links, also. I hate to sound stupid, but sometimes it just can't be helped. I can completely understand why the wavefront would lessen in intensity as it goes out. Why does it slow down? Is this just from the inertia of the dust and sparse gas it hits or is it gravity acting like surface tension? It seems like that's an awful lot of speed to drop just from running into the stray particles in the "vacuum" of space.

Could it be possible that " The sun standing still for a full day " as chronicled in the book of Joshua ; was a super nova ,simmilar to the one repored in 1006?

Pictures from space are always good. I would hope that I can live to see the day where this is appreciated and funded by all.

Kastros: Unlikely. A super nova would move in the sky right along with all the other ordinary "fixed" stars; after all, before it "nova-ed", it was one.

That ribbon configuration is pretty nuts.

Captain, the blast wave will hit us in 35 seconds.

Scotty, I need shields in 30 seconds or we're all dead.
