Re: Sunday Quickfire Quiz 8
Your second theory is correct. The supernova did not occur on that date - it happened 20,000 years earlier (as the star was 20,000 light years from Earth).
But I won't be too hard on you - I'm an amateur astronomer myself and you don't often see astronomy questions in quizzes.
A bit of info for those who are interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SN_1604
