I found a picture of the Pinwheel Galaxy I took back in 2021 then matched it to the supernova picture I shot in May, 2023. The video blinks between the 2021 picture and the recent supernova image.
It was a hot evening in June. The sun was low in the sky behind the maples. This photo wanted to be a modern art mandala. Or supernova. The viewer can decide. I can see it stretched over canvas, large.....on a wall in a house or office where the inhabitants are not afraid of colour. My walls are neither large enough, nor modern enough to contain it. My decor is more alpine ski lodge. If you have never played with your pics to see what type of art they might lead to.....I heartily recommend it.

The supernova explosion that created this object was first observed on Earth in February 1987. NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory sees X-rays produced by debris from the explosion. X-rays from Chandra (purple); optical and infrared from the Hubble Space Telescope (red, green, blue); infrared from the James Webb Space Telescope (red, green, and blue)
At the center of this composite image is a small object resembling a glowing pink Cheerio. This is supernova SN 1987A, named after the year the core-collapse explosion was first observed on Earth. It is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small nearby galaxy. The pink Cheerio, or equatorial ring, represents material ejected tens of thousands of years before the supernova explosion. The blast wave from the supernova is striking the ring, causing it to produce X-rays detected by Chandra. Inside this ring is a pale, steel blue dot containing debris from the star that exploded.. The ring sits at the center of a ghostly figure 8, outlined in brick orange. This entire structure is surrounded by a packed field of stars, specks and dots in white, blue, and orange. A long, brick orange cloud hovers near the left edge of the image.

MicroWorld #19. The adventure continues.
Within a picosecond their visors had reacted,protecting them from the blinding flash as the nearest of the suns exploded in a cataclysmic outburst of energy. Already the neutrinos had passed both through them and the planet and were now well on their way deep into the MicroWorld planetary system. But it was the high energy x-rays and gamma rays now heading towards them that concerned them most. They estimated that they had twenty minutes left to reach the craft; their only hope of safety now was being inside with the force shields deployed.
Their faithful craft shone like a beacon,reflecting the light from the death throes of the sun, as it beckoned them across the rocky terrain. The ship had been their companion on all their adventures as they faced, and overcame, many perils together. It, like them, was now getting old and although sturdy it did not have the sophistications of the newer vessels in the fleet. It had protected them before but now its most demanding challenge was but minutes away.
They began to sweat as the cooling coils in their suits began to fail. The ambient temperature was now rising fast and the physical effort in trying to hurry was beginning to take its toll. Their visors began to mist up but they could still, for the moment at least, see where they were supposed to be heading. As they stumbled nearer the craft it seemed strange, it's colour was different. Their first thoughts were that the illumination from the suns had changed but, as they approached the main hatch they could see that the outer skin was etched and pitted. Although only moderate pitting was evident it was enough to change the reflectivity of the foamed silicon nitride insulation panels giving a somewhat duller appearance. The strange snow that had etched the mountains had also etched their craft!
They transmitted a signal to open the hatch - nothing! They tried again - still nothing! They began to sweat even more as their heart rates began to rise - they were now beginning to panic! Although they could not see them, the streams of high energy particles from the nuclear explosion that was once a sun, were now only a few minutes away. No way could they survive out in the open once these arrived. A desperate third attempt was as successful as the other two, the door remained closed. Their only chance was to manually open the bolts and locks of the emergency hatch, but these too were seized up. In desperation they struck the levers with rocks which simply shattered and disintegrated. One of them fumbled about in his rucksack and, with his geological hammer pounded at the levers. Quickly the others joined in, their hammers clanging at the metal like frenzied blacksmiths. Slowly the levers began to turn and, after some fearful moments, the first two locks gradually opened. The remaining two were easier and with all their combined efforts they managed to swing open the outer door and collapse into the air lock. The door slammed behind them with a thud accompanied by the reassuring whine of the pumps as the air pressure began to automatically equalize.
Outside, through the hatch window they could see strange things happening in the sky, but they concentrated in getting through the air lock into the relative safety of the main control room. The force shields must work first time for them - there would be no second chance!
To be continued...

Type 1a supernova that shows quite nicely how a supernova can be as bright as the entire host galaxy
My latest, the Vela Supernova Remnant is 900 light years distant and considered to be one of the closed objects to us of its type. Its located in the Southern Hemisphere in the constellation Vela. The star in question went super nova approximately 11,000 years ago and has expanded to around 50 light years. The area also includes the Puppis A supernova remnant, which is four times more distant.
The field of view of this image is extremely wide, covering the equivalent of approximately 30 full moons.
I imaged this remotely from Rio Hurtado Valley in Chile with a 135 mm Samyang camera lens on a ASI 2600mm pro camera. It is a combination of two images (2 pane mosaic) highlighting the Ha and Oiii gases. Each filter per pane received 80 min but some only 40. I intend of gather more data for the future.
Shot during the full moon cycle. Thank you for looking!
No Photoshop! No F/X! Just me and my cam.
ja gut...lightroom halt, aber das ist nicht für dieses aussehen verantwortlich ;-)
This highly distorted supernova remnant may contain the most recent black hole formed in the Milky Way galaxy. This image shows X-rays from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. Most supernova explosions that destroy massive stars are generally symmetrical. In the W49B's supernova, however, it appears that the material near its poles was ejected at much higher speeds than that at its equator. There is also evidence that the explosion that produced W49B left behind a black hole and not a neutron star like most other supernovas.

This is 47 million light years away (that is 5.8 trillion miles X 47 million) in the Galaxy M77. A supernova is a star that has exploded and for a short while can be as bright as a whole galaxy. May not look like much but to be able to take a picture of a star that has died spectacularly in another galaxy from my backyard is pretty freaking amazing!
