LIVE: Supernova in Far Away Galaxy (NGC 7331) @ChucksAstrophotography

Uploaded September 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Two Supernovas in the Deer Lick Galaxy (NGC 7331). I captured 3 hours on the galaxy this month (September), which shows the supernova SN 2026aaiv. I then compared it to the same galaxy I captured a year ago in July, which shows supernova SN 2025rbs (which has since faded and can no longer be seen in the new data).

$LIVE - 3I/ATLAS Captured With Small Telescope 3I/ATLAS is an interstellar comet. It was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System station. The comet follows an unbound, hyperbolic trajectory past the Sun. It will not come closer than 1.8 AU from Earth, so there is no threat to planet Earth.

(Capture and Process) There are at least four comets visible this fall, including C/2025 A6 (Lemmon), C/2025 R2 (SWAN), the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, and C/2025 K1 (ATLAS). Several may become bright enough to be seen with the naked eye under dark skies.
