>Modern astronomers now consider its distance from Earth to be about 7,200 light-years or 2,200 parsecs.
>SN 1006 lies well beyond 1 kiloparsec, and it did not appear to have significant effects on Earth. However, a signal of its outburst can be found in nitrate deposits in Antarctic ice.
Something from 7200 light years had an effect on Earth!
