. The left image shows galaxy cluster MACS J1149.5+2223. The circle indicates the predicted position of the newest appearance of the supernova. To the lower right the Einstein cross event from late 2014 is visible. The top right image shows Hubble observations from October 2015 before the supernova's recent appearance. The lower right image shows the discovery of the Refsdal Supernova on 11 December 2015, as predicted by several different models. NASA/ESA/P. Kelly (University of California, Berkeley)
