A few weeks ago, supernova SN 2023ixf was discovered. A massive star ran out of fuel and violently collapsed, causing a brilliant explosion that can be clearly seen 21 million light years away. It is the closet supernova to earth in the past 5 years and 2nd discovered in the area in the past 15 years. Messier 101, Pinwheel Galaxy, with supernova visible top middle.

On May 19th, 2023, a new supernova was discovered at the edge of Messier 101, the Pinwheel Galaxy. This is a large, frequently photographed galaxy located near 'the Big Dipper.' I spent two evenings photographing the galaxy so I could capture the supernova to share.
