Our telescopes have captured images of a recent supernova called SN 2023rve, which exploded in the galaxy NGC 1097. SN 2023rve is now the brightest supernova in the sky, with a magnitude of about 13.9.
After surveying hundreds of extinct quasars, a team led by Professor Nobunari Kashikawa from the Department of Astronomy has found the behaviour of these active objects to be consistent through time.
