Hubble probes explosive end of massive star in spiral galaxy

New Delhi: The Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of a barred spiral galaxy IC 758 at a distance of 60 million lightyears in the constellation of Ursa Major or the Great Bear. In 1999, the supernova designated as SN 1999bg exploded in the galaxy, which was the violent explosion marking the end of a star much more massive than the Sun. Astronomers do not know how massive this progenitor star was. The Hubble observations will be used to …
