Yes, SN 2020ue remains fairly bright, one of the easiest supernovae in quite a while. “If the supernova gets the timing right, it can catch up to this shell and release a huge amount of energy in the collision. “This one immediately stood out for further observations because it seemed to be in the middle of nowhere.

Since September 2019, the star's temperature has decreased by ~100K while its luminosity has diminished by nearly 25%." The numbers imply an increase in the star's radius of ~9%. I felt that the best view was at 259x. Request a prospectus Order prospectus Our impact: find out about recent advances Explore our Research Spotlights Because of its rapid northeastward movement I easily detected motion over the 45 minutes of observation. But in SN2016aps, we found the radiation was five times the explosion energy of a normal-sized supernova. I used magnifications of 116, 145, 170, 216, and 259x. It was -6 degrees F that morning. Tucci’s Tusker is stubborn and dark-humoured, constantly delivering jibes to Firth’s Sam in a way that only a long-term partner can get away with. NGC 4636 is a member of the Herschel 400 list so I had observed it previously. Betelgeuse is highly unstable, routinely unleashing powerful stellar winds that collide and compress interstellar gas into a bow shock in the direction of the star's motion.
Sam is quieter, burdened with the unthinkable task of having to care for his dying lover.
