The Earth Science Picture of the Day (EPOD) highlights the diverse processes
and phenomena which shape our planet and our lives. EPOD will collect and
archive photos, imagery, graphics, and artwork with short explanatory
captions and links exemplifying features within the Earth system. The
community is invited to contribute digital imagery, short captions and

 Supernova SN2022hrs

   Summary Author:  Greg Parker

   Shown above is  supernova SN2022hrs taken with my  Hyperstar4 on
   the night of April 21-22, 2022, at the New Forest Observatory in
   southern England. Clear, moonless nights in England are quite rare, so
   it was a treat to not only have such a transparent night but to be able
   to observe a supernova to boot. This supernova was discovered by Koichi
   Itagi on April 16, 2022, just a week before I was able to observe it.

    SN2022hrs is found in the spiral galaxy NGC4647, some 63 million
   light years away. It's almost overshadowed here by the massive
   elliptical galaxy, M60 to its lower left. M60 and NGC4647 are part of
   the  Virgo supercluster of galaxies and lie close to the well-known
   grouping called  Markarian's Chain.

   Photo details: Imaged with an ASI 2600MC-Pro colour CMOS camera (26
   Megapixels!!) on a Hyperstar 4 lens connected to a wedge-mounted
   Celestron C11 GPS Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector. The image is only 16 x
   3-minute subs (exposures). It was captured from 23:00 (local time) on
   the night of the 21^st until 00:40 (local time) on the morning of the
   22nd.
