Exercise 1.
Now, find the other two supernovae in the SDSS's Early Data Release. The table below has links
to images of the SDSS fields that contain the supernovae. Click the "small"
link for a small image, and the large link for a large (2048 x 1489) image.
Both types of image will open in the same new window.
After getting the SDSS image, use the given RA and Dec in the
POSS Image Retrieval tool to find POSS images of the same field.
Compare the fields to find the supernovae. (Note: the images are
not oriented the same direction!) The second supernova is rather
hard to find.
