Default Supernovae Are Egg-Shaped

Here's an interesting article:

http://www.nature.com/nsu/030811/030811-2.html

Apparently, supernovae may be egg-shaped. Hmm, symbolism...


Note that later on in the same article, the writer also says "oblate."
Apparently, the author is not clear on the qualitative difference
between "egg-shaped" and "an oblate ellipsoid."
