Science magazine probably hopes you won't notice

So I'm going to point it out.

This post is a follow-up to my earlier post regarding an article published in Science about a supernova called 1987A. The article as published online on July 7, 2011 contains a gross factual error. I, and I am guessing others, submitted an e-letter gleefully pointing out this embarrassing mistake. Although my e-letter wasn't published, and Science did not issue an erratum (as far as I can tell), this gross error was stealthily corrected in the print article that was published September 2, 2011.
