Supernova in M82
2014-02-26 
This is the first time we managed to image a supernova! Even though it was over a month (January 21st) the supernova was discovered, it's still easy to photograph!
See more information here for the night this picture was taken. 
A galaxy is a massive, gravitationally bound system consisting of stars, stellar remnants, an interstellar medium of gas and dust, and dark matter. Examples of galaxies range from dwarfs with as few as ten million stars to giants with one hundred trillion stars, each orbiting their galaxy's own center of mass. ― source and more information wikipedia
