Hubble Time-Lapse of Fading Supernova in NGC 2525

This video shows a unique time-lapse of supernova 2018gv in galaxy NGC 2525, compressing a nearly one-year duration into a few seconds. The supernova is captured by Hubble in exquisite detail within this galaxy in the left portion of the frame. It appears as a very bright star located on the outer edge of the galaxy's spiral arms. This new and unique time-lapse of Hubble images shows the once bright supernova initially outshining the brightest stars in the galaxy, before fading into obscurity during the telescope's observations. This time-lapse consists of observations taken from February 2018 to February 2019. NGC 2525 is located nearly 70 million light-years from Earth.

You can see the area around it has a changed shade of color afterwards. And believe me... that is a big area if you realise the distances on scale.

[TabooGroundhog]

This is your daily dose of internet. But yeah they caught that supernova pretty quick, props to NASA

[brandoncoochiesmith]

Damn. First we see a black hole, and now a supernova? Amazing :D

[zander_]

This is truly a beautiful and amazing thing to capture and see

[kel_]

What’s crazy is if this is actually 70 million years ago think about how the area is around it now. We’re watching something that happened in the past in the present.

[_cmi]

How have I never seen this? This is amazing. A full on video instead of a song left image? This is perfect

[interstall]

Its a big star
And it exploded with *passion*

[CaptainCoolzCT-]

Where that Star exploded, hundreds of species of beautiful Extinct Dinosaurs are still alive, happily roaming our planet.

[erniewerezak]

It shows us that it might be a small world, but it is definitely a big universe.

[lotte]

Wouldn't that have blown when the dinosaurs still walked on the earth..? I honestly can't believe were only seeing it now. It really shows how big our galaxy is.

[leilabarns]

Unbeievsb that this happened actually when dinosaurs where here

[JackSmith-oqmf]

So how long it take for the sound waves to come

[migdonalds]

was this visible from earth at any point?

[Nolanpatsfan]

Everybody, ignore this Righteous kid. He’s a troll.

[neosquid]

This supernova happened when dinosaurs roamed the earth just think if they looked through a telescope now they would see dinosaurs through it

[n.aclasheryt]

Who's here from Daily dose of internet?

[jamie]

Daily dose did a way better job of showcasing this. Was hoping for a full unedited version

[mkbane]

And for a brief moment there was antimatter

[qualifiedidiots]

Shame. DDOI showed it on a loop.
I was hoping it was still exploding. Something to look at.

Als het een mooi plaatje oplevert interesseer je je dus ook voor een beta-onderwerp.
