[MR] Question about disappearing stars in 15th century

[Aimee Kratts]

I am writing a short story and I wanted to get the historic facts correct. However, everyone that has replied has given me the answer that I need. A supernova in the late 1550s might have gone unnoticed since the first "credited" observation was in 1572. 

This gives me the opportunity to make up anything that I want.

Thanks all!

Aimee

 Lady Amie,



Fascinating topic - Medieval Astronomy!   I am unaware of any information about stars winking out during that time period.  Can you give an idea of what you mean or what information you are looking for in particular, or for what reason? That might help.

Greetings Atlantian Collective,



 



I know nothing about period astronomy.



 



Can anybody tell me where I might find information about what stars winked out 

of existance in 1557-1558?
