Supernova SN 2023gfo in NGC 4995 galaxy

This is Supernova SN 2023 gfo located in galaxy NGC 4995 as recorded from the southern hemisphere on 2023-05-20 from 1:20 UT to 2:00 UT with 10 minutes color exposure time no filter. Galaxy NGC4995 is at the center of the image and the supernova is displaced a little further east south of the center of the galaxy (at 4 o'clock and about 18 arc seconds from the center). Two additional galaxies can be seen in this photo PGC 1011507 (at right) and PGC 1012245 (below). The bright yellow star is KY Virginis.

NGC4995 is 85 million light-years away from us. When the light from Supernova SN 2023gfo departure from the galaxy NGC 4995 we were at the end of the Cretaceous here in Earth's using geological time scale.

Supernova SN 2023 gfo is a Type II that results from a collapse and violent explosion of a young supermassive star with 8 to 40 solar masses. These types of supernova are usually found in the arms of spiral galaxies in regions of H II . SN 2023 gfo was discovered on 2023/04/20.209 by ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System - USA) with magnitude 16.2. NGC 4995 is a galaxy of type SAB(r)b and is located on the southern edge of the Virgo Supercluster (Wikipedia).

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
