Supernova SN2023ixf in Pinwheel Galaxy (M101) - 2023-05-21 by Jim Johnson

Think about how bright the supernova must be. Every other star visible "in" the galaxy is actually a foreground star in our Milky Way galaxy, and are 10s to a few hundred light years away. The Pinwheel Galaxy is 20 million light years away. The core and sprial arm structure seen in the image is the combined light of a trillion unresolved stars. Given that the intensity of light drops off at 1/r^2, the supernova must be unimaginably bright in order to outshine many of the foreground stars that are just a fraction of the supernova's distance.
