"Rare Supernova Event Visible to Stargazers Worldwide"
A massive star in the Pinwheel Galaxy has gone supernova and is expected to be visible for months, even from amateur backyard telescopes. The supernova, designated as SN 2023ixf, is a Type II supernova, and its home galaxy is relatively close by, making it an exciting opportunity for scientists to study the evolution of massive stars and how they die. However, sky watchers also expressed frustration with Elon Musk's SpaceX satellites clogging up the starry firmament.
