This is an image of the Galaxy NGC3877 and the supernova 1998S in the constellation Ursa Major. ... As others have posted, the supernova is actually easier to see than the parent galaxy.

... August 28, 1998 . Hydrogen Trifid . ... Explanation: Clouds of glowing hydrogen gas mingle with dark dust lanes in the Trifid Nebula , a star forming region in the constellation Sagittarius. In this and other similar emission nebulae , energetic ultraviolet light from an embedded hot young star strips electrons from the surrounding hydrogen atoms . ... It shows those regions with substantial emission from atomic hydrogen . ... Tomorrow's picture: Star Colors . ... About APOD > . ...
... Here is a brief outline of the current theory of the events in the early history of the solar system: . A cloud of interstellar gas and/or dust (the "solar nebula") is disturbed and collapses under its own gravity. ... The gas cools off enough for the metal, rock and (far enough from the forming star) ice to condense out into tiny particles. (i.e. some of the gas turns back into dust). ... Once the larger of these particles get big enough to have a nontrivial gravity, their growth accelerates. ...

... The distance scales of the objects are matched both by comparing the first derivatives of the angular velocity determined separately from radial velocities and proper motions and by the statistical-parallax method. ... Good agreement between the inferred 0 and our calculations based on space velocities suggests that the Lindblad relation holds throughout the entire sample volume. ... Brandt and Blitz (1993) published the distances and radial velocities for a total of 206 H II-regions. ... Astron. ...
