Phil Plait, astronomer and science communicator, built this site to debunk widespread myths and misconceptions about astronomy, from Moon landing hoax claims to equinox egg-balancing folklore. With sections covering movies, news, TV, and bite-sized astronomy lessons, it is a rich resource for anyone wanting to separate cosmic fact from fiction.
http://astro.vaporia.com/start/transientastronomy.html
A detailed reference page from the astro.vaporia.com astrophysics index, covering transient astronomy and the study of short-lived astronomical phenomena such as supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, fast radio bursts, and gravitational wave events. It catalogs major sky surveys like ZTF, Pan-STARRS, and the Rubin Observatory, making it a useful entry point for anyone exploring time-domain astronomy.
