Hubble Captures Cosmic Chaos at Pegasus Supernova Afterparty

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of the irregular galaxy NGC 7292 in the Pegasus constellation, which is known for its stretched-out core and classification as a low surface brightness galaxy. The study focuses on the aftermath of its supernova, SN 1964H, to better understand Type II supernovae and the potential surviving stellar companions. Astronomers hope to learn more about the diversity of Type II supernovae they have observed by scrutinizing the aftermath and remaining nearby stars of a large sample of historical Type II supernovae.
