Update:<\/em> <\/strong>To hear about the scientific results that came from the Unistellar Network’s observations of SN 2023ixf, read this\u00a0<\/span>SETI Institute press release! <\/a>The data from 123 observers starting just hours after the star\u2019s explosion produced a high quality record of the cataclysmic event’s behavior over 35 days. The analysis was <\/span>published in a Research Note of the American Astronomical Society<\/a>\u00a0on 6 July 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

On May 19th, a bright supernova was discovered in the spiral arms of the Pinwheel Galaxy, aka M101. This cosmic cataclysm was serendipitously discovered by amateur astronomer Koichi Itagaki, Japan\u2019s most accomplished supernova sleuth. Although the Pinwheel is 21 million light years away in the constellation Ursa Major, this supernova \u2013 called SN 2023ixf \u2013 still marks the closest supernova to detonate in the last decade.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Supernovae are some of the Universe\u2019s most energetic events which end the current stage of their star\u2019s life cycle with a cosmic explosion. They either destroy their star completely, turn it into a neutron star, or cause it to collapse into a black hole. Astronomers have already found that SN 2023ixf was caused by a supermassive star\u2019s core collapsing in on itself, and additional observations from professionals and citizen scientists alike will reveal more about this cataclysmic event. <\/span><\/p>\n
