It got as bright as magnitude 11.9, making it the brightest supernova of 2024. [12] It was the closest supernova to Earth since SN 2023ixf , which had been discovered on 19 May 2023. A search of archival Hubble Space Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope images showed the suspected progenitor star, identified as a red supergiant .
Astronomers have taken the first close-up image of a star beyond our galaxy, and it’s a “monster star” surrounded by a cocoon as it slowly dies.
The supernova was about 21 million light-years from Earth and is expected to have left behind either a neutron star or black hole, based on current stellar evolution models. The supernova is located near a prominent HII region, NGC 5461, in an outer spiral arm of the bright galaxy. [3] By 22 May 2023, SN 2023ixf had brightened to about ...
