the collision of a white dwarf and a Sun-like star in the NGC 2442 galaxy.

 An incredible cosmic blast!

Astronomers believe this explosion, SN 2015F, was triggered by the collision of a white dwarf and a Sun-like star in the NGC 2442 galaxy. While the actual supernova lit up 80 million years ago, its light has only recently reached Earth, allowing us to witness this ancient event.

Captured with a robotic 17-inch telescope in Australia, these stunning images bring the distant past to life, showcasing the immense energy unleashed by this stellar collision.
