On June 3, 2010, Koichi Itagaki detected a magnitude 17 supernova 17" west and 1" south of the center of NGC 57 at coordinates 00 15 29.70 +17 19 41.0.[5]

gollark: Mine is just somewhat old.
gollark: Yes, they're fairly competitive now I think.
gollark: Its main advantage is just that it is conveniently usable one-handed or while standing up, which the phone plus keyboard is not.
gollark: Compared to my laptop, my phone has significantly worse CPU power, massively worse GPU power, a smaller but equal-resolution and better-color-calibrated screen, much worse IO (a single USB 2 USB-C port versus five USB ports, a headphone jack, Ethernet, DP/HDMI, and power), much better battery life but worse battery capacity, and worse software.
gollark: 7" is a small tablet or very large phone.
