Don't we have blind spots though? Like in the direction of the center of the galaxy or behind bright stars?
- anbende 6y agoMy understanding is that this only applies at long distances. The center of the galaxy can only block things farther away than that (10s of thousands of light years or more). The kill distance is very close at 25 light years, and stars must be quite big and bright to go supernova.
