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 ...
SN 1054 remnant (Crab Nebula)A supernova is an event in which a star destroys itself in an explosion which can briefly become as luminous as an entire galaxy.This list of supernovae of historical significance includes events that were observed prior to the development of photography, and individual events that have been the subject of a scientific paper that contributed to supernova theory.
Map showing various supernova candidates, most of which are within one kiloparsec from the Solar System. [1] This is a list of supernova candidates, or stars that are believed to soon become supernovae. Type II supernova progenitors include stars with at least 8~10 solar masses that are in the final stages
Boom.In the colossal Pinwheel galaxy, 25 million light-years away, a star has just exploded and is even visible through small telescopes. The supernova-hunting astronomer Koichi Itagaki discovered ...
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.

SN 2023rve is a type II supernova that happened in the 10th magnitude barred spiral galaxy NGC 1097 on September 8, 2023. [1] Scientists from the McDonald Observatory in the state of Texas, United States, have observed the supernova and conducted photometric measurements, they described it to be the brightest supernova in the sky as of September 12, 2023.
