Spiral Galaxy NGC 3982 Before Supernova

NASA APOD

COSMIC MESSAGE

Astronomers are imaging nearby galaxies to see what stars look like before they explode. The Hubble Space Telescope captured this detailed image of the spiral galaxy NGC 3982. If a star in this galaxy explodes in the future, archival images like this one will show its appearance before the supernova. This data helps us understand how and why supernovae occur.
