- Title
Supernova in galaxy M5 I.
- Authors
Moore, Stewart L.
- Abstract
The article reports that a magnitude 14 supernova was discovered in the galaxy M51 on June 28, 2005 by researcher Wolfgang Kloehr of Schweinfurt, Germany using a 20cm reflector. M51 is one of the most observed galaxies in the northern hemisphere and although late June is not an ideal time for galaxy observing from Great Britain, it is possible that some observers recorded the supernova without being aware of it. M51 is visible in almost any instrument, although large apertures are needed to show the spiral structure.
