   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   
   relevant links.   
      
      
    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.
