Description

This image has been stretched to emphasize the supernova in M82. SN2014J is in the news right now because it is the closest Type Ia supernova in 40 years. Also, it was caught (serendipitously) early in the explosion, which means that it will be possible to characterize much more of the light curve than is usually possible.
