The Supernova and Cepheids of Spiral Galaxy UGC 9391
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
This spiral galaxy, UGC 9391, contains both Cepheid variable stars and a recent Type Ia supernova. Both are crucial for measuring cosmic distances. Cepheids help us gauge nearby distances, while Type Ia supernovae extend our reach much farther. This galaxy allows astronomers to calibrate these different distance scales, helping us understand the universe's expansion rate.
