The space object, called IC 1776, is located at a distance of more than 150 million light years from our planet.
The Hubble Space Telescope has photographed the spiral galaxy IC 1776, located more than 150 million light-years from Earth in the constellation of Pisces. This was reported by the ESA observatory.
It was noted that recently in IC 1776 there was a catastrophic powerful explosion – a supernova, which was discovered in 2015 with the robotic telescope Lick Observatory Supernova Search, which examines the night sky in search of transient phenomena such as supernovae.
A network of automated robotic telescopes scattered around the world, operated by professional and amateur astronomers, can detect short-lived astronomical phenomena such as stray asteroids, gravitational microlensing, or supernovae without human intervention.
According to the observatory, Hubble investigated the aftermath of supernova SN 2015ap during two separate observing programs designed to study the debris left behind by supernova explosions to better understand these energetic events.
Various telescopes automatically monitor supernova detections to provide early measurements of the luminosity and spectra of these events. Additions to these measurements could shed light on the systems that lead to such cosmic cataclysms in the first place.
It was previously reported that the James Webb telescope showed an image of the spiral galaxy M51, known as the Pool.
