Very bright supernova
lit galaxy NGC 1365, also known as the Great Barred Spiral Galaxy, visible to
observers from the Southern Hemisphere. This elegant galaxy lies at a distance
of approximately 56 million light-years away in the constellation Fornax. SNe
Ia, in question, was opened by Alain Klotz with the telescope of TAROT La Silla
Observatory, Chile, October 27, 2012
Supernova 2012fr a
vivid, deep blue star, located directly under the center of the galaxy. The
author of this picture, Rolf Olsen Bullock, said November 10, 2012, this
supernova was close to its maximum brightness, reaching a magnitude in the
color bar R, equal to 11.90.
"To get an idea of
how bright it is the event, we can calculate the absolute magnitude of the
supernova M, using the following formula, where m is the apparent magnitude,
and D - the distance in parsecs: M = m - 5 (lg (D) -1) », - says Olsen.
