The June 9th, 2011 Supernova Explosion in M5121 viewsUsually Supernovae are dim and isolated to some obscure part of the sky, making them all to difficult to find and image. This particular one, however went out of it's way to aid us in finding it. Not only did it get quite bright, it positioned itself in a well known, easy to locate Galaxy! How cool is that?
