"Unveiling a Spectacularly Bright Supernova in a Distant Galaxy Captured by Hubble Telescope"

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a detailed image of the galaxy UGC 5189A, located 150 million light-years away, revealing a supernova called SN 2010jl that emitted energy 2.5 billion times brighter than the sun. This Type II supernova marks the death of a massive star and studying its aftermath provides valuable insights into the conditions and effects of such cosmic explosions. The image shows UGC 5189A as a flat, misshapen disk with plumes of bright gas and dust on one side and dim, patchy coverings on the other, along with a trail of dark dust. Hubble has also studied other supernova-hosting galaxies located around 1,000 million light-years away.
