Dedicated Amateur Discovers Supernova in Remote Galaxy

Astronomy is increasingly becoming an online affair. Recent discoveries of interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS and R2 SWAN highlighted this fact, when both were first discussed on message boards and verified via remote telescopes before confirmation. Another recent find also shows what’s possible, as devoted amateur astronomer Filipp Romanov accomplished an amazing feat, and discovered a supernova in a remote galaxy.

Astronomers Discover Colossal Cosmic “Bridge” Linking Galaxies Across Space

Astronomers have discovered a massive bridge of neutral hydrogen gas that connects two dwarf galaxies. Scientists at the University of Western Australia node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) have identified a colossal structure stretching 185,000 light-years, linking the dwarf galaxies NGC 4532 and DDO 137, situated 53 million light-years away from [...]
