Star Wars in NGC 664
The galaxy NGC 664, about 300 million light years away, is a battleground of star formation and destruction. Here, two massive stars exploded as supernovae, captured in one image. These explosions release immense energy, briefly outshining entire galaxies. They are crucial for distributing heavy elements throughout the universe.
