S/2004 S 1 AND S/2004 S 2
C. C. Porco Space Science Institute and the Cassini Imaging Science Team 
have reported the discovery, on IAUC 8389, of two new satellites of 
Saturn as designated above.
S/2004 S1 has a revolution period of 1.01 days, semimajor axis 194,000km 
and estimated diameter of 3km.
S/2004 S2 has corresponding values of: 1.14 days, 211000km, 4km.
Visual magnitudes as seen from earth are in the range 22-23.

SUPERNOVA 2004df IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY
A report by A. V. Filippenko et. al. indicates a spectrum of this object 
found by Tom Boles (cf E-Circular 2018) of Aug 16 indicates it is of 
type II about 2 months after maximum.

SUPERNOVA 2004di IN UGC 10097
A report by Filippenko of this object found by Mark Armstrong (cf 
E-Circular 2019) indicates from a spectrum of Aug 16 that it is of type 
Ia about three weeks past maximum.
