This Hubble image shows the galaxy cluster MACS J0138.0-2155, which is so massive that its gravity bent and magnified light streaming not only from an extremely distant background galaxy but also from a supernova event in this galaxy. The color image was made using observations from eight different filters spread across Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). The color results from assigning different hues to each monochromatic image associated with an individual filter. Image credit: NASA / ESA / Hubble / A. Newman / M. Akhshik / K. Whitaker.

Hubble Observes Multiply-Imaged, Gravitationally Lensed Supernova

Jul 19, 2021 by Enrico de Lazaro

The multiply-imaged supernova AT2016jka appeared in the distant giant galaxy MRG-M0138, gravitationally lensed by the foreground galaxy cluster MACS J0138.0-2155. This...
