The space object itself is located approximately 55 million light years from Earth.
Using the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), the Hubble Space Telescope captured the image of a spiral galaxy located in the constellation of China. This was reported by the ESA Observatory.
The space object, called NGC 941, is located at a distance of about 55 million light years from Earth.
It is noted that this space is not the motivation for data collection. Astronomers are more interested in an event that happened in space many years ago: supernova SN 2005ad. The location of this extinct supernova was observed as part of a study of many hydrogen-rich supernovae, also known as Type II supernovae, to better understand the environment in which certain types of supernovae occur.
Although the research was conducted by professional astronomers, it was SN 2005ad that was found by the famous amateur astronomer Koichi Itagaki, who has already discovered more than 170 supernovae.
