ESO 184-G82: Supernova - Gamma Ray Burst Connection
Modern astronomers track supernovae, the death explosions of massive stars, and gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful explosions in the Universe. The galaxy ESO 184-G82, shown in this Hubble Space Telescope image, may have hosted both a supernova and a gamma-ray burst that were the same event. ESO 184-G82 is a spiral galaxy with a prominent central bar and loose spiral arms dotted with bright star-forming regions.
