Hubble Captures Stunning Supernova Aftermath.
The Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of the aftermath of a Type II supernova explosion in the spiral galaxy UGC 2890, which is located 30 million light-years away in the Camelopardalis constellation. Hubble's investigation of Type II supernovae helps to reveal insights into the types of stars that create these explosions and any survivors of these catastrophic events. This observation is one of many Hubble investigations of Type II supernovae, revealing any stellar survivors of colossal supernova explosions.
