It makes mention of the fact that the supernova features in the spectrum were first detected by European astronomers in the GRACE collaboration with the VLT in Chile.

Way to go, Nicola!

See you in Nature.

Don, when you click to the other links you get to this;

http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/1...0218_clean.tif

The image in the middle is GRB06021618. So, it would appear there is another, even brighter and bigger one above it? Same configuration. And another above that without the middle bright spot. Also, do you know if the bright spot just right of GRB060218, is supposed to be the host galaxy, and has anything been said about the blue spot that that appears on the pic on the right that is left of the GRB?
