Supernova SN 2022 hrs in NGC 4647

On April 16, the Supernova 2022 hrs was discovered in the galaxy NGC 4647, an intermediate spiral galaxy about 63 million light years away in the direction of the constellation Virgo, discovered by astronomer William Herschel on March 15, 1784. NGC 4647 , along with M60, forms a pair known as Arp 116 visible in my photo to the right.
At the bottom right I added two enlarged crops to better highlight this extraordinary phenomenon, one of the real image and the other of the luminance in negative. In fact, in this image we are looking at a phenomenon that occurred about 63 million years ago, when dinosaurs on Earth were "just" extinct from a couple of million years.

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.
