Professional and amateur astronomers use a network of telescopes spread around the world. Conduct sky studies so that many astronomical phenomena are detected Like wandering asteroids or supernovas, for example in 2015, the Lick Observatory Supernova Search robotic telescope, which scans the night sky for phenomena like supernovas, detected an intense supernova explosion in the galaxy IC 1776.
Recently, the Hubble Space Telescope of NASA from the United States and the European Space Agency captured new images of the isolated galaxy IC 1776, located in the constellation Pisces. The constellation Pisces is more than 150 million light-years away from us, although it is not visible in this image. But Hubble’s power has given scientists a glimpse of the aftermath of supernova SN 2015ap, the galaxy IC 1776, with two different observing programs, both designed to see through the debris.
Scientists reveal that early measurements combined with later observations have revealed the permanent energy of supernovas in the galaxy. This could shed light on the systems that cause disasters in the universe.
