Is there a good resource to find out where to look?
- Look for the Big Dipper, left of it about the direction of its handle and twice the handle's length. https://stellarium-web.org/ for more details.
  
  I demand you bring it further down so I can see it in the southern hemisphere.
By the time we see the nova in the coming days, another ~75 will have happened since the one we'll be seeing.
Websites sure have been milking this all year, huh? Must be reliable ad revenue it gets posted so much
