NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Supernova 1994D, seen as the bright spot in the lower left, exploded in the outskirts of galaxy NGC 4526. This supernova was a Type Ia, important for its consistent brightness. Type Ia supernovae are used as 'standard candles' to measure cosmic distances. By comparing their observed brightness to their known intrinsic brightness, astronomers can calculate how far away their host galaxies are.
