Description

Here is a quick shot of the supernova, designated as SN2022ewj in the galaxy NGC 3367. It is a Type II supernova that can be found in the constellation Leo. 

INFO: A Type II supernova (plural: supernovae or supernovas) results from the rapid collapse and violent explosion of a massive star. A star must have at least 8 times, but no more than 40 to 50 times, the mass of the Sun (M☉) to undergo this type of explosion. Type II supernovae are distinguished from other types of supernovae by the presence of hydrogen in their spectra. (Wikipedia).
