Description

I found out about a new Super Nova back in May of this year, 2022.  Decided to give it a try.  Wow!  I found it.  This galaxy is in a cluster around 63 light years away.  The nova is seemingly brighter than not only it's home galaxy, but the much larger Messier 60 elliptical next to it!
