Scientists claim to have found the oldest human record of supernova carved on a stone. The stunning find comes from India where researchers have spotted markings on 5,000 years old rock unearthed in Burzahama region in Kashmir, that shows two bright objects in the sky and a hunting scene.
Earlier, researchers thought it to be just an imaginary scene or a picture drawn according to mythologies. Apparently, Vahia and his colleagues guessed it to be a supernova and along with sun in the strange picture where few peoples are hunting down a dear-like animal under two bright objects.
Earlier, scientists thought it to be Moon and Sun. The theory was negated as both the celestial bodies can’t get so close to each other as depicted in the picture. Also, the moon would appear very dim in the presence of the sun.
The picture carved on the stone is not a hunting scene instead entities represent constellations. According to the study authors, hunters represent Orion, deer represents Taurus, man holding the spear belongs to Pisces and the other animal on the right may be Andromeda and Pegasus.
