"Summer's Visible Supernova: Death of a Star Captured by Radio Astronomers"
TL;DR Summary
A star in the nearby pinwheel galaxy M101 has gone supernova, and the blast is so bright that it can be viewed from an amateur telescope. The supernova recently found in M101, dubbed SN 2023ixf, is the closest one to take place in the past five years, and it was caught early enough that astronomers will be able to observe the death of a star in new levels of detail. The supernova will remain bright in the night sky through the entire summer and will offer new insight into the death cycle of massive stars.
