Space is big. Astronomers have found supernova SN 2023ixf in the Pinwheel galaxy, . It is some 21 million light years away from Earth.

Azalee Bostroem at the University of Arizona, says it was it was probably a type II supernova, in which a supergiant star runs out of fuel and collapses in on itself before exploding.
