| Description: | The latest press-release about the discovery of a relativistic outflow in SN2007gr (Paragi et al. Nature - see AJDI of 28-01-2010) is currently doing the rounds in the scientific press. Co-author of the paper and well-known outreach enthusiast, Megan Argo, was inspired enough to create a special mini-episode of Doctor Who, in which the Doctor and his assistant surf the SN2007gr shockwave in the Tardis (see blue police box above!).
