We imaged to splendid Messier 82 galaxy, nicknamed “Cigar” because of its shape. We are pleased to share our picture with you. The detailed image above comes from the average of 13, 300-second exposures,...
Among the best known galaxies out there, M81 and M82 are always a stunning view. Here it is our lat image of this cosmic pair. The image above comes from the average of 30,...
The recent supernova in Messier 61 is the latest member of a very special and very small group, the one including all the supernova events happened in 2014 in a Messier galaxy. So far,...
For sure, supernova SN 2014J in M82 has been one of the most important seen in recent years. At Virtual Telescope we tracked it since its discovery and wanted to see how bright it...
After more than four months since it was discovered, supernova SN 2014J in Messier 82 was observed again by the Virtual Telescope. The star looked much dimmer than last time we visited it. Above is...
After a few weeks, Virtual Telescope looked at SN 2014J and its hosting galaxy, Messier 82, to check how bright the supernova was. Above is an image coming from the average of four, 120-seconds...
Supernova SN 2014J and its host galaxy Messier 82 were well-placed in the sky last night, when the clouds left the stars shining in a steady atmosphere for a while. The Planewave 17 robotic unit was...
The recently discovered supernova SN 2014J is hosted by the well-known irregular galaxy Messier 82. This cosmic island, about 12 millions of light years from us, is making a very beautiful couple with Messier...
Thanks to a break in the cloudy coverage, the Virtual Telescope pointed Messier 82 and its supernova SN 2014J very early on 13 Feb. 2014, few nights after the last visit. Above is an image,...
The Virtual Telescope visited Messier 82 and its supernova SN 2014J again on 06 Feb. 2014, after the luminosity peak recorded a a couple of days before. Above is an image, remotely taken with the PlaneWave...
The Virtual Telescope visited Messier 82 and its supernova SN 2014J again on 04 Feb. 2014, under a less than ideal weather conditions. The object was clearly detected. Above is an image, remotely...
The Virtual Telescope visited Messier 82 and its supernova SN 2014J again on 27 Jan. 2014 to check its brightness and see if – as expected – the star was increasing its...
On 25 Jan. 2014, Virtual Telescope hosted a live event, sharing online supernova SN 2014J in Messier 82. many thousands of people from all around the globe joined the session. Above is an image...
As reported yesterday, a new bright supernova was discovered in Messier 82, a famous irregular galaxy in Ursa Major. The exploding star was spotted during its rising stage and was found in several images...
