Description
In mid-May, a new supernova flared up in the galaxy Messier 101. I had just taken an image of this galaxy in April. See an animated gif of the non-supernova / supernova images, and a detailed explanation on how YOU can find this still-bright supernova in the constellation of Ursa Major along the handle of the Big Dipper.
