Hubble Telescope sees rare supernova explosion as a violent 'pale blue dot' (image)

This Hubble Space Telescope image features the galaxy LEDA 22057, which is located about 650 million light-years away in the constellation Gemini. LEDA 22057 is the site of a supernova explosion, named SN 2024PI, which is visible in this image: located just down and to the right of the galactic nucleus. .

The Hubble Space Telescope recently captured a snapshot of a rare supernova that sits in the Gemini constellation, about 650 million light-years away from Earth.

A newly released Hubble pic shows the galaxy LEDA 22057, where the supernova explosion occurred. The spiral galaxy's swirling mass centers around an oval-shaped core region with a white glow that spins outward to form arms that curve into the speckled cosmos.
