    I know it's slang, and particularly American, but I've always heard this supernova referred to as "nineteen eighty-seven A". It would be much less tortured that way. If _you're_ finding it awkward, then there's a very high chance the people who work with these names all the time find them awkward in the same way and will revert to casual conversational tone just to make the number reasonable to say over and over.

    Its ninteen eighty seven A not one thousand nine hundred and eighty seven A.. Supernovae are named for the year they happened. This is the first supernova detected in the year 1987. How do you have a space channel but lnow so little about space?

    I’m not impressed that NASA is using an error-prone AI to read the report. As others have commented, there are very peculiar usages such as 1,987 A vs 1987A. The whole point of the star’s name is that it’s the date it was found. Surely a human could spend 20 minutes to correct the errors?

      Absolutely mind-numbing data coming from JWST is actually changing some scientific hypotheses.
      If we’re not careful, we may, someday, uncover the true origin of our existence. YIKES 😊

    How far away is this neutron star from our solar system? How many light years away and when did the star go supernova, 1987? Or was that the year we discovered the neutron star and the supernova SN1987 occurred sometime in the near or distant past?
    I think the robot- narrator could have explained these basic questions at the start of the video.

    I wish these announcements would stick to the facts and not to bend them to make up for phantastic headline! "We have found a Neutron Star"... no, you don't! You've found effects that have a good chance to come from something like that but you have, until now, no hard facts. There might be no other "thing" except a neutron star in that location.. I give you that.. but the location is still to "dirty" / dusty to show the NS.
    That is the crux with science selling estimations as facts: people, not familiar with the matter, tend to believe it "because a scientist said so!" Stick with the facts, folks! I know it doesn't sound as good as these made-up headlines but the result is more trustworthy and, BTW, what's wrong with saying "as for right now we don't know for sure.... yet!"

    For those that are new to why neutrons in a neutron star doesn't collapse beyond a certain point, the reason which was not included in this video is a law called " The Pauli Exclusion Principle " where no two fermionic particles can occupy the same quantum state. Just helping.

    I am amused that the narrator doesn’t realize that the star’s name is literally “supernova 1987 a” which tells you the year (1987) in which it exploded. The ‘a’ means that it was the first supernova observed that year. SN1987a was discovered in February of 1987 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way.
    Sure, go ahead and say “one thousand nine hundred and eighty seven” instead of “nineteen eighty seven” if that makes you happy. Astronomers and astronomy fans are amused. 😂

    A Neutron Star duplicates the actions of a Naval Lighthouse on a small Island Entrance to an inlet to a Big or Small Cities or Towns water Way, like an island that marks shallow water depths, to Warn ships of the large size that they will scrape their bottoms on underwater Rocks, so they won't sink!
